View Full Version : Can't Remove Items From Video Menu

In the video menu I added a source that I now can't remove. I believe this is because I named it with a leading underscore (i.e. "_M:\"). I did this because I wanted it to be the first item on the list of sources. What I ended up with was a source named "M:\" (without the underscore) and it falls in the middle of the list of sources where 'M' would fall alphabetically. The problem is I can't remove it. When I vew the options for it the only choices are:

Add Source
Add to Favourites
Set Content
Settings

Whereas the other sources give me these choices:

Edit Source
Make Default
Remove Source
Choose Thumbnail
Add Source
Add To Favourites
Set Content
Settings

I added the same source again but this time named it with an asterisk instead of a leading underscore (i.e. "*M:\"). This gave me the result I wanted, with my *M:\ source at the top of the list.

The problem is I don't know how to remove the one that I created with the underscore. There's no 'Remove Source' option. I poked around in the folders via my FTP client but it wasn't intuitively obvious where this information is stored.

Anyone know why the leading underscore in the source name caused this situation and, more importantly, how I can get rid of it now?

In XBMC's UserData folder, there's a file called "sources.xml". That's the one you're after. On reading it, you should be able to work out how to chop the source in concern. :)

Thanks Bomb Bloke, I got it taken care of... Seems so obvious now that I know but for the life of me I couldn't find it when I was poking around...
