Profiles - calvin4242 - 2021-01-17

Hello everyone.
I created a "Children" profile under kodi 18.2 with the "eminence 2" skin but I encountered skin loading bugs when I switch between profiles (even adding a skin reload .py file ).
So, I remade an install under kodi 17.6 krypton.
Then I created a new "Children" profile in addition to the" MASTER user" profile.

In CHILDREN profile, If I opt for:
Media Information: Shared
Media sources: shared or separate
and a COPY of the data (no new install)
I run into the following problem:
-When I add for example content / source on the media library of the CHILD profile, it also adds the content in the MASTER profile.
-When I add, for example, content / source to the MASTER profile media library, it also adds the content in the CHILD profile.

*********
If I opt for:
Media information: separe
Media sources: separe

I run into the following problem:
-On the CHILD profile, the default theme ESTUARY is loaded and I cannot get others.
And obviously as everything is separate, there are no more extensions that were already installed in the master profile.
In fact we start from an install profile "from scratch".

Here is my question:
I thought that I could modify on the CHILDREN profile the media library independently of the MASTER user profile and vice versa.
But no, why are the 2 profiles linked at the modification level? Did I miss something ??
Thanks a lot for your help.
