I am unable to change the favourites in my submenus.
When I try I get the message error / script error / favourites script

The log file shows:
ERROR: EXCEPTION Thrown (PythonToCppException) : -->Python callback/script returned the following error<--

I did at one point delete the file favourites.xml, but I don't know if that has something to do with it...

well, looks like the file is corrupt now.
you could try opening it with a text editor to check whats wrong.
'line 60, column 201' is where the error is, probably some odd character..

Thanks Ronie!
I deleted the line, which made the process work again.
Adding the favorite again though, only brings back the problem. Can you see what is wrong?
<favourite name="Artists" thumb="C:\Users\XBMC\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\addons\plugin.audio.googlemusic.exp\icon.png">ActivateWindow(10501,&quot;plugin://plugin.audio.googlemusic.exp/?path=filter&criteria=artist&quot;,return)</favourite>

[ronie]

yeah, that line is indeed not valid xml.
it's probably a bug in xbmc i guess.

to work around it, manually edit that file and change the line to:
<favourite name="Artists" thumb="C:\Users\XBMC\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\addons\plugin.audio.googlemusic.exp\icon.png">ActivateWindow(10501,&quot;plugin://plugin.audio.googlemusic.exp/?path=filter&amp;criteria=artist&quot;,return)</favourite>

You're a genius - or at least very much more xml-savvy than I :-)
Thanks again

using the ampersand escapes saved my butt on this, too, just now.
