[MAC] how to remove home/root directory in video(files mode)
#1
unlike in windows the default view for video(file mode) does not show the directory or any other drive unless you add it as a source.

but in mac as default it shows all drives(root) and home directory even without adding it. and its like so messy the way it is.
is there any way i can remove or hide them?


thanks screenshot will be posted if needed.

edit /Users/<username./Library/Application\ Support/XBMC/userdata/sources.xml and remove them.

You chopped out too much. Just remove the individual source and leave the remaining structure.

Works for me Smile

r23592 -> http://sshcs.com/xbmc/

EDIT: davilla smacks himselfs with a trout Smile You are at xbmc pre-9.10 R23571 (compile :Oct 9 2009). Duh. This should work unless you have another sources.xml inside xbmc.app

EDIT2: see http://pastebin.com/m7ebe0429 for mine. It's very generic but some default items have been stripped out from the video section.

weird idk whats wrong but its not working i completely removed and reinstalled the xbmc for fresher configuration, and i copied your sources.xml replacing all the Davilla there with my username and move it under the userdata folder overwriting the old one.

but i'll try it again with the new svn build. downloading it now.. thanks bro
