Sources.XML? What happened to it? - jrubenol - 2023-08-20
Hi All -
I used to sync multiple clients across my machines by copying several files from my user config folder. Notably, advancedconfig, passwords, and sources (.xml). I no longer am seeing sources.xml being generated in my "original" client. I'd like every client to have the same sources to make updating easier. Did Matrix get rid of sources.xml as the location of where sources are stored? Some other way for my to set up same sources across a half dozen clients without having to manually set them up (it's all samba shares).
Thanks!

kodi v21 still uses sources.xml so if you have added sources you should see it

I definitely have sources added but I do not have a sources.xml in my ~/.kodi/userdata folder. Any thoughts on why that might be the case? Just in case proof is needed, image shows on the right kodi open and a source selected with the clear options that come from pushing "c" on the source, while the left shows on the bottom my ~/.kodi/userdata folder with no "sources.xml" file

it appears you have broken something on your system, look in your Debug Log
from my log -
Starting Kodi (21.0-ALPHA1 (20.90.101) Git:20230321-124023d6ff)
CMediaSourceSettings: loading media sources from special://masterprofile/sources.xml

Not broken, thanks for reminding me to look at log . . . multiple profiles means the sources.xml is tucked away in a profile instead of the higher level. Thanks!
