Hi, well I was running into issues with space left on my 50 gb partition for the C: Drive. Looking through all my folders I found that the thumbnails folder was taking up over 13 gb. I knew that I couldn't be using that much space with current items and that it probably included many past items.
As a test, to see what would happen, I renamed the thumbnails folder to thumbnailz. I restarted xbmc to find that my entire skin had reset. It went back to confluence. So, I exited xbmc and renamed thumbnailz back to thumbnails, started up xbmc and switched back to my skin aeon mq3. I found that my skin was still completely reset. all my settings were gone within xbmc.
This issue is present in every single skin. I switched to aeon nox which I had tried as well and all of its settings were gone too,
Not only this. Every setting in xbmc reset. In order to get sound I had to configure my sound settings again.
Here's the odd part. When I navigate to my settings files for these skins, all of the modified data is intact. It's simply not loading the settings into xbmc which I don't understand at all. Here's an example. This is in my includes.xml within aeonmq3
<item id="71"><!-- Netflix -->
<label fallback="31021">$INFO[Skin.String(CustomFavourite1_Label)]</label>
<include>Favourite1Backdrop</include>
<thumb>E:\90s backdrops\1279-netflix-netflix-logo.png</thumb>
<onclick>System.ExecWait(E:\netflix.exe)</onclick>
<visible>SubString(Skin.String(DisableFavourite1),true)</visible>
This creates a Netflix home menu icon which opens up my script to open Media center's netflix
I have not edited this file nor any lines in it, but the skin refuses to show it on the menu nor any other custom menu's I made.
I don't understand why it wont read from the settings or why removing thumbnails would reset the skin.
I immediately backed up my userdata folder now just in case something gets overwritten.
I decided to run a log just in case something visible could be seen. Log below. Anyone have any insight?
http://pastebin.com/D6iDKf5G
this log consists of me starting up xbmc moving around left and right a few times and shutting down xbmc.
The log....it's not suppose to look like that....right?
Have I broken my installation? D=
followed by this later on?
or
I don't know much about the debug log nor how to identify what it means, but it looks bad to me.
After searching around a bit more, I found that my guisettings.xml got reset from my action. I guess I have to go back and fix all my settings.. :<
