I developed an addon script for advancedsettings.xml, one can try here . Please setup a repository from the zip and then install the script "Unlock Kodi Advanced Settings".

Source code is here.

Tested under Leia и Matrix

How about posting one or more screenshots so that we can get a glance of your add-on?

Is there a source that can be added via file manager to download this addon? I can't download .zip files directly on xbox one.  Thanks in advance.

Hello, thanks for creating this addon!

I already installed the addon on Kodi (Matrix), but I get an error then start the app: Unable to parse advancedsettings.xml

I didn't used before advancedsettings.xml
So I created an emtpy advancedsettings.xml file via notepad.

Does the addon create an own version of advanced settings? Or do I need to place an already "formated" xml file?
Here I have no knowledge how to create an workable xml.
Is there a download available for a starting xml file?

Took a look at this addon.  Seems well-written.  The notification that gets shown in Kodi doesn't include the error code, but I am guessing it is XML_ERROR_NO_ELEMENTS.

Your advancedsettings.xml file should look like:

            <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
              <advancedsettings></advancedsettings>

You don't need to create the advancedsettings xml manually. If it did not exist in your system, it will be created automatically once you save your settings. Even if you get this error , it is harmless. It just warns you that your pre-existing advancedsettings were not parsed successfully so they will not be preserved in the updated file. However, your original file will be stored with .bak extension just case if you need to revert the changes made by this addon  for whatever reason.
