This addon allows to unlock the power of hidden Kodi system settings and edit them through the System menu of Kodi.
Kodi mediacenter is highly customizable system and has tons of settings, which can be only changed by creating advancedsewttings.xml file in the userdata folder. Changing these parameters requires manual authoring of the XML, which is error-prone and not always convenient.
This plugin enables editing of advancedsettings.xml similar to editing settings of any other plugin.
- Download this file
- Navigate to System/Add-ons/Install from the zip file and specify the file downloaded on the previous step.
- Navigate to System/Add-ons/Alex Bratchik Kodi repository/ Program add-ons, click on "Unlock Kodi Advanced Settings" and install it.
Editing advancedsettings.xml is simple - just run the plugin. If you already have advancedsettings.xml defined in your system, it will be loaded accordingly.
Once you complete editing changes and save them, advancedsettings.xml will be updated (or created if it was not present in your system) in the userddata folder. Old advancedsettings.xml file will be stored with .bak extension in the userdata folder.
If a setting is reverted to its default value, it will not be written to the advancedsettings.xml file. Parent tags without non-default settings will be automatically removed from the file.
- Any formatting or manual comments in advancedsettings.xml will not be preserved.
- Some settings may be not supported. In this case it is still possible to set them manually by editing advancedsettings.xml file. Such settings will NOT be overwritten by the plugin.
This is a non-commercial community-supported addon. This plugin was created just fo fun and has no relation to official Kodi software. PLease know what you are doing and use at your own risk. Author bears no liability for any changes made by this plugin in your system.
