As long as kodi's not running you can replace the xml.
What machine is this on?

[myfototv]

Im running on windows and openelec on a RPi.

in this case Id like to write some code to have it change the guiserttings.xml on boot before the CCM has loaded?

Can you send me in the right direction please,
Cheers

Possibly use ReloadSkin() to make the changes?

[trogggy]

I don't think so.
I'm confused as to what you're trying to achieve. What sort of changes are you making / why?
You just want two different looks on the homescreen - different links?

Yeah Thats right. My folks have the same system as me, So Im writing a script that will remove the old addon shortcuts and put the new addon shorcuts. I dont really want to go down the road of a whole image, have them download it and restore, and do it that way. And trying to get old people to go to settings...skin....etc etc is not gonna happen, as im in one country and they are in another.

It sounds a hard way to go about it. Do they have a pc?
I regularly mess with my dad's system using team-viewer, and that's very straightforward (he's in the uk, I'm in France).

They have it running on An RPi, Im not aware of a teamviewer addon as yet for kodi, although could be an amazing idea!

Well Im going to keep playing about, Hopefully someone can shed some light on a solution. Cheers troggy

If they have a pc and a pi, and you have a pc, it's straightforward to get into their pi. Otherwise not so much.

So what are you intending to do? Post an sd card?

[myfototv]

No mate, I want to write a python script to do it. I know i could teamviewer into thier pc, then remote ftp into the RPi etc, but it defeats the purpose of writhing the addon.

cheers anyways.

I can honestly say that what you're trying to do makes no sense to me at all.
Good luck with whatever it is. Night.

Hopefully someone can help and read the debug.

In this debug, Kodi crashed 3x at startup, 4th attempt went in. I loaded youtube music and soundcloud as examples, both had the options menu auto pop open.

Hi all,

I need help with the Live Content for movies. I selected it for the background of the Movies menu but the pictures displayed in the covers do not change.
This works great for music.
In Scripts options, I selected the path for Album Thumbnails (for music) but I do not see anything resembling Movie Thumbnails...

Another question: how to view the current playlist when listening to music? I know that we can view the next 5 tracks but I will wish to access the complete list...

Thanks for your help.

To be honest you've got so much stuff going on there - none of which we're allowed to talk about here - that I'd start with a clean install, see if it still happens and then gradually add things back. You can easily do that by re-naming your data folder, so you don't lose anything. It's just a process of elimination - and there's a lot to eliminate!

To access playlist, I added this in keyboard.xml:

Code:

<Visualisation>
   <keyboard>
     <C>ActivateWindow(MusicPlaylist)</C>
   </keyboard>
  </Visualisation>

Stay to solve this:
