I have this strange behaviour from Krypton version, after restoring the backup im not able to use the addons immediately, i have to go and enable all the addons and repositories one by one MANUALLY , this was not the case during Jarvis 16.1
Anyone have any solution to this as its taking more than 30 minutes for complete restore and enabling all addons and repositories ?

You can download the zip file from the master branch. This has everything merged in now. It's version 1.1.0. Just click the "clone or download" link.

I have a pretty good version of this working now. It checks for enabled addons on backup and then tries to restore them in order of their dependencies on restore. Watch for something to hit github tomorrow - I'll post back here.

This is strange as official Kodi Addon repository has video addons that contains pirated contents, i understand those will not be enabled by default but still couldnt see the justification to limit the piracy, its just my view

It would provide a route to clone piracy builds and easily fill boxes with pre loaded crap.
I would have thought that to be obvious. There's nothing to stop users re-enabling restored addons manually. Yes it may take a few moments to do but how often do people actually need to restore backups?

Hi everyone, I hate to keep sounding ignorant but I cannot authorize Dropbox or Google Drive in Kodi Backup on my Amazon Fire TV Stick. I really thought I was making progress since I finally found, downloaded, and installed the latest version 1.1.0 .zip file! Now, I'm unable to use the URL/validation code (at the OK dialogue box) correctly in my web browser. Every time I try to, Kodi restarts and the dialogue box is gone causing an authorization error. Is this a limitation of my Amazon Fire TV Stick? If so, is there a workaround?
Rob, I like the way you changed the addon so that the cloud authorization occurs in the setup now. I just wished that I could get it to work for me!
Thank you,
Ron

Are you trying to use some kind of browser built in to the fire TV? Best use case is to type the URL in to a second phone/tablet/computer.
