Transfer settings between installs

craigd · 2012-05-26 16:38

Hi, I have 4 media centre pcs and have installed nox 3, loving the customisation options of the skin but it's time consuming. Once I have one set up exactly how I want it how would I go about transferring the setting so all boxes are consistent?

Some stuff isn't possible to sync in XBMC; to see what is possible, check the Wiki http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW...ts_of_XBMC

You can copy the skinsettings section from one guisettings.xml to the other ones. Only the paths to backgrounds could be troublesome.

Where exactly is this .xml located in Windows 7? I cannot seem to find it.

A small Google search would have shown you the results......

I tried copying just the nox settings then the whole guisettings.xml as they're identical machines but it didn't work. No big loss it's really easy to setup the new skin

remember to copy once XBMC is shut down as guisettings.xml will be rewritten on close
