About Optional Settings

Most of XBMC's optional settings can be configured via the GUI (Graphical User Interface) under "Settings". The Settings Window Choosing Settings from the Home Screen opens the Settings Window. In this window, you are able to configure XBMC's options to fit your taste. Profiles Allows you to save all of your settings as a profile and change them at the touch of button. It also allows you to tailor access to specific folders and network shares based on the profile being used. This is ideal for systems that have multiple users. About XBMC Displays the credits Skin Settings Opens the configuration window for the currently selected skin. NOTE!: If you have configured a setting in AdvancedSettings.xml it will be hidden in the GUI Settings! The Settings sections My Videos Settings My Music Settings My Pictures Settings My Programs Settings Weather Settings Network Settings System Settings Appearance Settings Advanced Settings All advanced settings (or 'power-user' settings) can not be accessed from the GUI (Graphical User Interface), this is to prevent normal end-users from messing up XBMC more than they have too. To change/edit advanced settings or configurations you must manual edit XML-files (specialy formated text-files) on your computer via a standard text-editor and then transfer them over to your Xbox. For more information see the Advanced Configuration section of this manual. NOTE!: If you have configured a setting in AdvancedSettings.xml it will be hidden in the GUI Settings! Resetting XBMC settings to default To reset all XBMC settings that are accessable from XBMC's GUI (Graphical User Interface) to default, (which can be usefull if you changed something that messed up XBMC so that you cannot access the GUI to change the setting back), simply hold down both thumbsticks (clicked) when launching or booting XBMC. This will cause a screen to pop up asking you if you want to reset your settings (including the active skin) to the defaults. The only settings not reset by this method is the Master lock code, and the advaced settings only accessable via manual edit of XML-files, (such as AdvancedSettings.xml, Keymap.xml, LCD.xml, RssFeeds.xml and PartyMode.xml).
