if there is a warning shown I personally don't see a reason to hide the section by default or a need to enable it via as.xml. We could just have a GUI-Setting for "expert mode" and than a) show the advanced settings for audio/video OSD and b) show the "Advanced Settings" section in the system menu.
the setting to hide the warning could be a as.xml only setting then. But honestly, do we really need a option to hide it? How often will those advanced settings be changed anyway?

mad-max - those options could show up in the according Audio/Video sections I think - only generic and reaaaaaally low level as.xml stuff should probably move to the "expert" section. Or maybe we find a better concept for it?

Passion already has an addon that does that. I agree with jmarshall. I'm the first one to enable an option 'just to see what it does'. But still, I wanted to point out that it's really easy to make an addon that does what you want.
[EDIT]
Sorry, didn't read after page 1... My bad.

I'm sorry Martijn, I'm not sure I get what you mean with your last post.
Would you approve of a setting to be activated in advancedsettings.xml, that exposes all advanced features in the GUI or not?
As has been mentioned in this discussion, there are several settings which might look advanced to some but are actually useful only when it's easy to toggle between them.
For troubleshooting and bug reporting please make sure you
read this first (usually it's enough to follow instructions in the second post).

That's kinda my point ashlar - and unfortunately after some checking the addon method won't work for "live" settings, only for as.xml settings
So yeah, I side for sure on an unlockable "advanced" mode

No there will be no switch to unlock ALL advanced settings
The ones that perhaps needed will probably be added.

^^^ as Martijn says, it will be specific ones if any. Many are meant to be set once and forgotten - others benefit from toggling within the program.
