XBMC-standalone config files location [solved]

My HTPC seems to have corrupted one of the XBMC config files (probably the library) and now it doesn't seem to be able to add any videos (even with .nfo files) to the library (and it has lost quite a lot of videos that were already there).

I've looked everywhere to try and delete the config files however I can't seem to find where they are when XBMC is started using systemctl (I thought I'd struck gold with "/usr/share/xbmc/system/" however deleting them didn't help).

So far I've tried removing and re-installing XBMC and deleting /usr/share/xbmc/system (which is removed when uninstalling XBMC) and it doesn't seem to have reset configuration is there anywhere else I should look?

Thanks for the help.

Re: XBMC-standalone config files location [solved]

There is no XBMC folder in any of the users under /home/ as it is run by the XBMC user created by the package. However you did make me think of looking at the .install file for where is puts the home directory for the user and the config files are in there ('/var/lib/xbmc/.xbmc/' if anyone else ever needs to find them).

Problem solved.

Thanks
