This is probably a dumb question but .. can you take an android ver 10 copy of Kodi and copy that to android ver 12?
Leia ver 18.9

@deramon AFAIK as long as you are running the minimum supported Android version it doesn’t matter. Their have been some permission changes that Android has made but other than that sb fine. You do need to install though, not just copy. There are required things that happen during the install process. What you can do though if you are trying to duplicate an install is first install the base Kodi and then you can copy the right key configuration files over. You can do it manually if you know what you are doing or you can use one of several backup/restore options.

Thank you. I think I installed to the wrong directory somehow. But the different android version apparently makes trouble with some of my addons which are a bit old and not updated. I am getting the older version android box and I will try and see f there is more success.


RE: adblink 5.9 Windows/Mac/Linux Companion for Kodi - wags1 - 2023-12-16

@deramon Make sure the addons you are running are the correct version addons for the version of Kodi you are running. IMO you are better off running the most recent version of Kodi that you can and the corresponding addon versions for that version of Kodi. Honestly Leia 18.9 is now 2 release versions back.

Using 5.9 on a new Firestick 4K Max FOS 8.1  Kodi 20.2

I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong here but after upgrading my Firestick I can’t get a backup working (have long been using adbLink on a Firestick 4K with great success).  Does the change using set permissions allow backup from a Kodi build that is stored on an external USB?  Here is my log:

The new 4K max is running Android 11 and Kodi's data is sandboxed.  You'll have to wipe Kodi's data (via the stick's settings) then restore an existing backup.

See the link above for details.


RE: adblink 5.9 Windows/Mac/Linux Companion for Kodi - LenB - 2023-12-19

Thanks for the reply, much appreciated I will give it a try.  I presume I can use a backup from the FS 4K from before then?

EDIT: It worked perfectly! Thank you for your response


RE: adblink 5.9 Windows/Mac/Linux Companion for Kodi - jocala - 2023-12-19

Yes.

With  FireOS8 the sleep settings are changed. Unfortunately, the current timer dialog does not work for  the 4KMax stick.  To turn sleep on/off use a workaround from below:

Connect to the device then press the ADB Shell button. At the prompt paste in a command from below:

Sleep off:
Code:
 karat:/ $ settings put global stay_on_while_plugged_in 1

Sleep on:
Code:
karat:/ $ settings put global stay_on_while_plugged_in 0

This will be added to the timers screen in the next release.

@jocala v 6.0 for Windows is being flagged as a "severe" threat by Windows Defender due to detection of a trojan (Trojan:Win32/Caynamer.A!ml). I have never seen this before on any previous versions.

False positive.   No viruses on my development machine or server.


RE: adblink 6.0 Windows/Mac/Linux Companion for Kodi - wags1 - 2024-01-26

@jocala Thanks for the verification. I just wanted to make sure as I had never encountered this before with any previous version.


RE: adblink 6.0 Windows/Mac/Linux Companion for Kodi - darkj2k - 2024-01-30

@jocala Server down? I can't connect to http://www.jocala.com. Anyone know where I can find the latest version for download? TIA.


RE: adblink 6.0 Windows/Mac/Linux Companion for Kodi - wags1 - 2024-01-30

@darkj2k No problems here.
