Location of Skin Settings - jschoen - 2012-03-29

I have two atv2s, so I spent some time playing with the settings in Quartz, and have it set up the way I want on one of the atvs. This is really just the options for the home screen I am talking about. Basically using the combination of playlists and favorites, it works very well. My playlists and sources an all that are all ready setup on both using path substitution, so that is good to go.

I am now being lazy and do not want to change everything again. I am wondering what the name of the file is where the settings for the home screen are stored. So at a minimum I can just ftp it over to the other atv2, and be good to go.

Thanks for the help, and great skin by the way. It really works nicely for us here.

Sorry to drag up an old thread here but I've just been playing with this trying to do the same thing and replicate my settings over several devices running OpenElec/Gotham 13.2.

However once I've copied the relevent lines (the whole <skinsettings> block to avoid error) and saved it, it doesn't seem to take effect. I've tried rebooting afterwards but the settings just don't seem to apply. I've tried switching skins as well (going back to Confluence while making changes, then switching to my chosen skin, Eminence afterwards) but I can't get it to work. After checking the file again it seems to be being overwritten with the original settings on every reboot.

Any ideas?

exit the program/kill the process, change the file to how you want it, start Kodi again.
