View Full Version : [MAC] How to remove "unremovable" (default?) sources (not in sources.xml)?

OSX Version: 10.5.7
Platform: MacBook Pro
XBMC SVN Revision: XBMC 9.04.1 r20677
Skin: xTV revision 2269

When I select Photos, Movies and Music (in non-Library mode) from the Home screen in XBMC using the xTV skin, I *always* get a source called the same name as my home folder (i.e. /Users/<myhomefolder>) which I did not add myself (alongside the sources I have added). I can't remove this by the usual method of pressing the 'C' key then "Remove Source" as this particular option does not appear in the list. I've checked in userdata/sources.xml and it doesn't appear in there either.

Seems like some kind of default addition to me (???) but as I like to keep my folders neat with only the sources I've added, I'm keen to remove it. Any ideas? (I've read previous posts on a similar theme which say that this will be fixed in a revision less than the one I have, so is this possibly a still outstanding issue?). Thanks for any help in advance!

This was asked the other day as well.

Short answer is no, it's currently not possible. See VirtualDirectory.cpp if you want to code up a patch for it.

Thanks for the reply and apologies for not finding the earlier post.

Apart from coding this up myself, which I guess is unlikely. Is it something that is likely to be fixed in a subsequent revision of XBMC, especially as it appears its not just me who's seeing this?

Thanks.
