Hello all,
I just installed XBMCbuntu and put my advancedsettings.xml file into /home/scott/.xbmc/userdata. If I go to the XBMCbuntu desktop and open from the menu, all of my files are found. If I try to start directly in XBMC, my files are not found. I only have one user on this system... Does XBMC start from another user I don't know about? Should my advancedsettings.xml be in another directory? Should I quit and put Windows on? Just kidding.
Thanks for any help you can give!

Please check your kodi.log if the databases are up... or post a log here...
Maybe you xbmc starts to fast an your network is not conected.
If it is so you can try to change you network settings from dhcp to statc ip...

Or delay your xbmc startup until networking is up.

No, that's not the correct way.
Not every user has a network cable attached. This way it would wait forever. Even on a laptop, when you are sitting on the airport without network ... kodi would stop starting at all. It's really not kodi's job to wait for your network environment when not explicitely told.
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

I didn't say that kodi should not run until a network exists, just that it should not try and access it until the network is up. I understand that not every user will have a network, but on the other hand if everyone who has an ssd and uses the network could end up with issues then surely this should be something to be looked at? Even if it is simply a case that if kodi has enabled the advanced settings, then it enables netinittimeout and netsettletime from the WOL stuff.
