I'm looking to pick up and update an addon I wrote a while back. I remember I used to just create a shortcut under the /AppData/Roaming/Kodi path and point it to my dev directory. That way I can keep stuff under dev away from stuff that's installed.

When I try this now it doesn't work. Kodi doesn't seem to be "picking up" the fact that this shortcut exists. Not sure if its due to changes in Kodi since the last dev I did (which was on Frodo/Gotham release) or whether its due to the fact that I'm on a Windows machine.

Any tips?

I assume it's something windows related. (still could be kodi on windows) but I'm
doing exactly the same on linux which works just fine

Code:

printf("  -p or --portable\t%s will look for configurations in install folder instead of ~/.%s\n", CSysInfo::GetAppName().c_str(), lcAppName.c_str());

or you can use KODI_HOME env var.

@ironic_monkey Not sure what you're telling me in the first part there. I'm doing addon development in python.
