I want to enable the read-only mode of X-NEWA so that its Delete and Cancel buttons are disabled so that I don't accidentally delete or cancel a recording from one of the Kodi clients.

How do I do that?

From what I've found on the forums so far, I think I have to add the following lines to the x-newa.ini file:

Code:
[XNEWA]
readonly = yes

However, I can't seem to find the x-newa.ini file. Where is it? If I have to create it myself, where do I put it?

I never enabled that mode when I got rid of xnewa.ini since.it isn't applicable in web client. It should be easy to edit the source file if you really need it let me know.

Yes, I really do need it. I can't have the Delete button enabled, especially since it's right next to the Play button. Anyone in my family could accidentally hit the right arrow too many times and end up deleting a recording they were intending to watch, and then I'll never hear the end of it. I'm scared that I might accidentally do the same thing.

I really Really REALLY want to disable the Delete button.

What if the Read-Only Mode could be added to the Add-On's Configuration Settings in Kodi?

In XNEWA_Settings.py around line 113 change

self.XNEWA_READONLY = False

to True

Given you are the first person to ask about this I don't seee going through the trouble of making it configurable through the GUI but maybe through the XML file.

Yes, at least make it configurable through the XML file and thank you for doing so.
