Remove/Hide Add-ons-button

Silver Fang · 2012-02-23 07:24

Hi,

It would be nice to be able to hide the "Add-ons"-button, like with the "Add-source"-button.
System->Settings->Appearance->File lists...

Thanks

Create an advancedsettings.xml containing:

Code:

<advancedsettings>

  <virtualshares>false</virtualshares>

</advancedsettings>

See http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=Advancedsettings.xml for more info on the advancedsettings.xml file.

I created a xml-file, and saved that into userdata-folder.
C:/Program/XMBC/userdata

What should I do next to remove/hide that button ??

Thanks

That's the wrong location for the file. I assume you're using Windows. In that case press Windows-R and in the Run dialog type:

notepad "%APPDATA%\XBMC\userdata\advancedsettings.xml"

click OK and when Notepad prompts you to create a new file answer "Yes". Now copy and paste the following into Notepad:

Code:

<advancedsettings>

  <virtualshares>false</virtualshares>

</advancedsettings>

Close Notepad and save the changes. Now run XBMC and you should find the "Add-ons" link has gone.

Thanks, it worked.
Sorry for not writing all the info, yes i did use windows 7.

But i was thinking to get a htpc and have xbmc live on it, without win7.
I will maybe have the xbmc live on a usb-stick 3.0 or a sd-card.
How will i do then ??

Thanks

**spiff** · 2012-02-23 18:57

same way, except ~/.xbmc/userdata is the path.

OK, thanks, will try it when i get a htpc.

Is there any way to remove the "add-on" below the picture-video-music on the mainscreen of the confluence skin ??

Thanks

**jhsrennie** · 2012-02-26 19:40

You could edit the skin file. I don't know of any other way to do it.
