Main Menu Customizer isn't working?

phil65 · 2012-07-21 04:44

just tested, i cannot recreate the bug anymore (also had it some time ago but didn´t test for a long time since almost everything can be chosen directly in nox without the need to use favs)
that makes me think that the script version is the cause for those problems.

perhaps some have still outdated script versions installed? i don´t think it´s some $INFO / $ESCINFO stuff.
But normally skins include minimum version script requirements :

Code:

.. <import addon="script.favourites" version="3.2.2"/> ...

Dependant scripts are not automatically updated?

it should, but people use GIT versions without taking care of those stuff etc...
stuff only gets updated / installed when the skin is downloaded from a repo.

Is it possible to create a Favorite in the Main Menu Customizer? I do not have a guisettings.xml. Please help, ty.

You MUST have a guisettings.xml file :

Windows XP: Documents and Settings\%userprofile%\Application Data\XBMC\userdata\guisettings.xml
Vista/Windows 7: Users\%userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\userdata\guisettings.xml
Mac OS X: /Users/<your_user_name>/Library/Application Support/XBMC/userdata/guisettings.xml
iOS: /private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/XBMC/userdata/guisettings.xml
Linux: $HOME/.xbmc/userdata/guisettings.xml

Linux: $HOME/.xbmc/userdata/guisettings.xml

only exception is windows in portable mode, then you can find it somewhere in your xbmc installation directory.

I have looked in the installation directory and Vista/Windows 7:[/b] Users\%userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\userdata\guisettings.xml. There is no file App Data folder or guisettings.xml. Any idea why this is happening?

phil65 · 2012-07-21 06:41

it cannot happen. very simple. check if you have installed it as an admin, then the path is probable /Users/Administrator/....
easiest would be to search the complete /users/... directory for "XBMC".

My AppData folder was hidden from view. I had to go to Organize>Folder and Search Options>Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives in Explorer. Now that I've found it, how do I edit the .xml file? Can I edit it in Word Pad? I'm new to this stuff, any help is greatly appreciated, ty.

On line 1685 I found <setting type="string" name="skin.aeon.nox.Nox.CustomHomeItem1.Path">

but I do not see: ActivateWindow(10025,"W:\Musikvideos\",return)</setting>

The instuctions say to remove the 2
Code:
" .

I'm still confused and am not sure what this means. What am I suppose to do?
