Can't edit Startup.xml (read only)

  • Hi All,

    I need to edit the Startup.xml file in Kodi. I'm using SSH to use nano to do this but when I try and save the file back

    it gives the error, failed to save, its a read only file system.

    To be honest I'm finding the whole Kodi, Libreelec experience incredibly frustrating. All I want to do is have the Pi power up

    and start playing a video file in a continuous loop!

  • I assume you are editing skin? Then you need to copy it first to writable location:

    Code
    cp -r /usr/share/kodi/addons/skin.estuary /storage/.kodi/addons
