I am trying to backup Kodi on my fire tv stick to Dropbox using the backup add on ver 1.0.6 by robweber. So I can restore to other fire tv sticks accessing the backup file stored in Dropbox.
I got this process to work from a MAC computer. Does anyone know how can I achieve this on my Amazon Fire TV stick?
Same as you did on the Mac really. You just need a way to read the log file so you can get the authorization URL. Not sure how to do this on a FireTV but I'm sure there is a way, check the wiki? Once it's hooked up to the same datastore you'll see the restore points.
its a pain in the ass but can be done, your gonna need a root explorer to do es files or some other you can get, its gonna have to be set to show hidden files because kodi files are hidden the log file is here /storage/emulated/legacy/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/temp/ ..once again you will need firestarter installed (in firestrater settings have home click once set to firestrater double click to kodi
1) Open root explore and go here /storage/emulated/legacy/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/temp/ have your root explorer setup to refresh itself i use root explorer and have refresh icon highlighted ready to go
2) On another device open the browser copy and paste this
https://www.dropbox.com/1/oauth/authorize?oauth_token= but dont search yet you need to add the remaing code from your log
3) Open Kodi assuming you have backup configured on dropbox and have the app key and app secret setup as well, run backup choose restore its gonna want the authorization hit home button on remote to bring you to firestarter open your file explorer hit refresh open log go all the way down untili you see something like this NOTICE: script.xbmcbackup-1.0.6: Authorize URL:
https://www.dropbox.com/1/oauth/authorize?oauth_token= on your other device type in the browser the rest of the code now enetr it if you did it fast enough you will be authorized if so go to kodi on firestick hit enter you will be all set... if not just repeat until you do... i chose restore so that way you dont have to back it up off the get and wait with restore it will open up the dropbox folder thats empty
