Path substitution for profiles / share profiles on the network - piscator74 - 2021-02-10
I have multiple kodi installs and I would like to share the profiles between the kodi installs without copying it from one machine to the other machine.
The video database and music database are already on the server. Sharing the sources.xml and advancedsettings.xml for a profile is the problem.
I have tried various path substitutions, but unsuccessfully so far.
The most obvious one:
In advancedsettings.xml of masterprofile
<pathsubstitution>
<substitute>
<from>special://masterprofile/profiles/</from>
<to>smb://xxx:yyy@server/path/</to>
</substitute>
</pathsubstitution>
Is it possible? Any suggestions?
