 If you can wait a day or two the update should be in the regular Kodi repo (it might already be there I haven't checked) and then you can just update the addon as usual.

For anyone needing a fix now here is a link to the zip file from Github with the updated version https://github.com/robweber/xbmcbackup/archive/master.zip I've been submitting changes to the Jarvis branch so anyone on Jarvis, Krypton, or Leia builds will get things working again with that version. 

I've had the pull request in the Kodi repo since Sunday, just waiting for it to be approved and replicated out. Sorry for the delay.

Download on a pc with a shared folder, then browse to that on the Fire Stick.

In a separate branch I've been working on a major update to the file selection and restore process. This adds a lot of good features and flexibility to backup file selection and restorals. At this point I think it's about 90% complete so any brave souls that want to test some stuff have at it. 

The branch for everything is: https://github.com/robweber/xbmcbackup/tree/krypton 
I have a pull request with instructions here: https://github.com/robweber/xbmcbackup/pull/117

The googleapi addon was updated recently with some breaking changes for the current Backup version in the repo. Since the addon.xml file still had the older googleapi version listed I didn't think this would be a breaking change. In any case, hopefully it's resolved quickly.

 Current GitHub update working. I was still getting an error after the update. Resetting backup resolved the issue.

ThanksSmile

Thanks for posting that. I was also still getting the error message after updating from github. Changing the add-on settings back to defaults eliminated the error message. I've now re-enabled the scheduler to back up every Sunday morning at 3 AM, and the normal Backup notification appears at Kodi start up. I guess I'll find out if everything is working correctly when I wake up on Sunday.

I confirm the bug is solved by using the latest github release as mentionned by Blurayx : https://github.com/robweber/xbmcbackup/

I installed it by downloading the zip file, then in Kodi i went to Add-ons, click on the box icon in the top and then "install from zip file.
 I just finished installing the zip file from this link and it solved my backup problem.  I am running KODI Ver 17.6 on a HiMedia Q10 Pro running Android 7.0

Hi guys,
I hope someone can help me here considering I now zip of programming. I am running version 17.6 in Win 10. My Backup add gives me an error and tells me to check the reigister. I did (from within Kodi), but it is like >Klingon to me and do not know what to do. If anybody is willing to help me sort this out, please just let me know what you need and where I find it.

Thanks

Step 1 - read thru the last several pages of posts, you will find all the information you need.


RE: [Release] Backup (formerly XBMC Backup) - Mount81 - 2017-12-07

Hello!

I have the same problem as the ones above on 16.1: I have installed the new 1.1.0 version, but it still gives me the "Error" message. I have tried a several times but still no success...

I want to get my backup back from my KODI 16.1 version and then "overinstall" it with the 17.6 (since this is the only way), but I'm stuck with the Backup add-on on 16.1.

Could you fix it also for 16.1 pls?!

Thank you!


RE: [Release] Backup (formerly XBMC Backup) - robweber - 2017-12-07

Anyone that still has issues I'd recommend the following: 

1) please re-install from Git version. An issue with the scheduler (unrelated to api.discovery error) was pointed out on Github. It may be affecting some people. It's updated now. When Kodi repo updates this fix is included as well. 

2) please check your dependencies. Because the only fix now is to install the addon via a zip file dependencies are not going to automatically be updated like they would if you're installing from the main repo. For this addon you need the following: 
  1. script.module.httplib2 - 0.8.0
  2. script.module.oauth2client - 4.1.2
  3. script.module.uritemplate - 0.6
  4. script.module.yaml - 3.11
  5. script.module.googleapi - 1.6.4
  6. script.module.requests - 2.9.1
If you have errors please post them here (not whole dump please, just the error) or on Github as an issue. Could be your specific installation has something else going on.

Hi Wags, thanks for your suggestion I already did, but as I said i am totally useless at this and I am totally lost.

Anyway, I guess I will have to reinstall everything and start afresh since I don't know how to fix it.
