I have this multiboot setup going so I can launch kodi for exodus and offline USB storage media access, and switch back to plex for everything else.
My problem is that when I update rasplex, The themes get all screwed up and replaced. I would like to back up the theme so I can re-add it via SMB or SSH if it goes missing. Problem is: I don’t know where themes are stored.
It’s a NOOBS setup so the partitioning is a bit weird. I mean, generally it makes sense to me, but I remember when I just had rasplex on here before, I never could find where rasplex OS data was stored. I only ever got to the /storage directory, even when I SSH’d into it.
Any advice on where I can find the themes storage location would be really awesome. Thanks!
I found the themes location. If SSHing in, it’s in the .plexht folder.
Inside that, under a 720p folder I found a crap load of XML files. I see references to variables (but don’t know where those are defined), and, of course, lots of XML.
Since I’m using a dual boot image with rasplex and OSMC, I need to find a way to see where the existing menu item for switching OS’s is defined inside here. I’m not sure where they would be defined.
The reason I need to find this is so I can add this to additional themes because the old theme is somewhat broken if RasPlex is updated. If I just add this setup to all themes, then it’s likely not going to be an issue next time.
I found it.
Inside LeftSideMenu.xml, there’s this entry:
<item id="112"> <description>Launch KODI</description> <label>Launch KODI</label> <onclick>Dialog.Close(4998)</onclick> <onclick>System.Exec(/storage/ss/kodi.sh)</onclick> <visible>System.isSystem(openelec) + [ !System.UserIsRestricted | Skin.HasSetting(ShowRestrictedPowerOptions) ]</visible> </item>
I think I was searching for OSMC previously, which is why I didn’t notice it.
Anyways, after I’ve restored my previous version of RasPlex… (because I wanted to roll it back when the update broke it all) I’m going to try and implement this on a newer skin when I update again
