Unable to make any changes to favourites as custom menu items - MrLizard - 2015-03-02

Hi,

Every time I try to add or edit a favourite as a custom menu item I get the message:

Error Script Failed!: Favourites Script

I have already tried uninstalling and reinstalling both Transparency and the favourites helper script.

Debug log is here:

I was surprised that after uninstalling and reinstalling the skin, the custom menu I'm having trouble with was still there. How would I go about wiping out all preferences and settings for Transparency in order to do a clean reinstall?

1) looks like you have an error in your favourites.xml file
Quote:ExpatError: not well-formed (invalid token): line 5, column 121
so check C:\Users\j\AppData\Roaming\Kodi\userdata\favourites.xml

2) skin settings are stored in C:\Users\j\AppData\Roaming\Kodi\userdata\guisettings.xml.
beware, if you wipe that file you'll loose your kodi settings as well.

Thanks for responding.

I've uploaded my favourites.xml here:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/10756920/favourites.xml

Unless I'm mistaken it's complaining about the '&'.
But this is in the middle of a valid URL.

Or is it something else?

the & sign is not valid inside xml.
you need to replace them with &
