# Unlock Kodi Advanced Settings
This addon allows to unlock the power of hidden Kodi system settings and
edit them through the System menu of Kodi.
## Background
Kodi mediacenter is highly customizable system and has tons of settings,
which can be only changed by creating [advancedsettings.xml](https://kodi.wiki/view/Advancedsettings.xml) file in the
**userdata** folder. Changing these parameters requires manual authoring of
the XML, which is error-prone and not always convenient.
This plugin enables editing of **advancedsettings.xml** similar to editing
settings of any other plugin.
## Installation
1. Go to the Kodi file manager, click on "Add source".
2. The path for the source is: https://Project-Kodi.github.io/ (Give it the name "Project Kodi Repository").
3. Go to "Addons", in addons, install an addon from zip. When it asks for the location, select "Project Kodi Repository", and install repository.project.kodi-1.x.x.zip.
4. Now the repository is available in Kodi, additionally, you should turn on automatic updating: Go to “Addons”, select “User Addons”, then “Addon Repository”, select “Project Kodi Repository” and activate automatic updating.
5. Go to the Addon-Browser, select “Install from Repository”, select “Project Kodi Repository”, select “User Addons”, select “Programm-Addons”, select “Unlock Kodi Advanced Settings” and chooise “Install”. Additionallyactivate automatic updating!
## User manual
Editing **advancedsettings.xml** is simple - just run the plugin. If you
already have advancedsettings.xml defined in your system, it will be loaded
accordingly.
Once you complete editing changes and save them, advancedsettings.xml will be
updated (or created if it was not present in your system) in the **userddata**
folder. Old advancedsettings.xml file will be stored with **.bak** extension
in the userdata folder.
If a setting is reverted to its default value, it will not be written to the
advancedsettings.xml file. Parent tags without non-default settings will be automatically
removed from the file.
## Known limitations
1. Any formatting or manual comments in advancedsettings.xml will not be
preserved.
2. Some settings may be not supported. In this case it is still possible to set
them manually by editing advancedsettings.xml file. Such settings will NOT
be overwritten by the plugin.
