2 Video OSD settings
Some video playback settings can (currently) only be accessed while playing a video back and accessing the on-screen-display. For more info see Video playback.
3 Video source and scraper settings
For settings related to your file sources and library scanning, see Adding videos to the library (especially Adding videos to the library/Setting content and scanning) and Media sources
4 Add-on settings
Various add-ons also have settings that can be accessed by going to Settings -> Add-ons -> Enabled add-ons -> the add-on category -> the add-on title -> Configure You can also access add-on settings for some add-ons by bringing up the contextual menu (press C on a keyboard) while using that add-on.
5 Profiles
Profiles allows you to save all of your settings as a profile and change them at the touch of a button. It also allows you to grant access to specific folders and network shares based on the profile being used. This is ideal for systems that have multiple users.
6 Advanced settings
Many advanced settings can not be accessed from the GUI (Graphical User Interface). This is to prevent normal end-users from messing up XBMC by more than they need to. To change/edit advanced settings or configurations you must manually create/edit advancedsettings.xml.
NOTE!: If you have configured a setting in advancedsettings.xml it will be hidden in the GUI Settings!
7 Resetting XBMC settings to default
Delete your userdata folder to remove all XBMC settings and library databases. Deleting some individual files/folders in the userdata folder will also selectively reset those settings.
