I watched a youtube video on vi while I was waiting.Įdit: ok, well, I created the file in vi, which isn't what I wanted to do, but it is done.Ĭan someone let me know what I could have done in the gui (x11 I think it is) to have been able to create the file? I'm not really sure if there was anything because this pi doesn't have a network connection and I don't have other text editors installed (maybe one of the preinstalled compilers has a text editor that could have handled xml?). Trying to figure out where to set it as US.Įdit: may have it set to us keyboard now, will see if I can figure out vi enough to create a small xml file. I tried using vi to actually put stuff in the file, but I'm getting the symbol when I try to put quotes (using insert mode) and when I try and press '=', it seems to crash, gives me an error about registers, and wipes out my line.Įdit: google is saying it means my keyboard is set at UK in this Raspbian. OK, just so that I wouldn't give up, I'm still trying stuff while waiting for someone with more linux chops to show up, I went ahead and used 'sudo vi advancedsettings.xml' the pressed ':w'. Would like to avoid using the console and opening vi with sudo or something. Once I have permission to create and edit the file, the rest should be easy (I hope). I've only ever played in Raspbian a little, and not for very long. There is probably a very simple fix for this since I can't find other people having the same problem. The permissions say the owner is root, and that only the owner can modify files. However, I can't create the advancedsettings.xml file there, as permissions are denied. The usb drive mounted, and I found the right directory (/storage/.kodi/userdata/). It's been forever since I played in Raspbian, so I figured I'd use the GUI.
#BEST XML EDITOR FOR KODI WINDOWS#
I realize that I can't just access the microSD card in my windows machine, so I put the card in a usb card reader and plugged it into another Pi running Raspbian (older version, older pi, it's what I had handy). Ten seconds is too far of a jump back, so I was jsut going to add a 5 second step. I'm watching subtitled stuff and reading it out loud for my significant other, and sometimes I can't finish a line before the character moves on. I can’t find any way to do that other than ssh, which I will do, but only if there’s no other way.OK, I just want to add in a 5 second step in seeksteps in the advancedsettings.xml file for my Kodi box (newest version of Kodi). Tl,dr I need to edit the keyboard.xml file in /usr/share/kodi/keymaps to comment out the backslash/fullscreen toggle line. I tried using keymap editor in Kodi to change it, no dice, I know now it’s because of the RO file in the kodi system folder. Try it put a custom keymap in /userdata/keymaps, and nothing you do will disable that bloody backslash key. In Leia, the keyboard.xml file in /usr/share/kodi/system/keymaps/ sets it, and nothing on any other accessable part of the system will change that. It is impossible to disable in CoreELEC using any method I can think of. Anyway, the problem is that cursed backslash key that toggles fullscreen. I’m also a windows guy, I mean I can type commands into a terminal, but I don’t have any linux machines set up right now, hopefully don’t need to. This is an infuriating problem with probably a simple solution, but I’m new to CE.
