Copying userdata folder from old PC - ntropy - 2018-04-28 Copying userdata folder from old Windows 10 PC to usb stick to new Windows 10, a dialog box pops up which reads: Quote:1 Interrupted ActionAnd the file is settings.xml. How do I proceed towards a successful transfer of Kodi settings from my old PC to my new PC? RE: Copying userdata folder from old PC - PatK - 2018-04-28 This is a MS system error https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_8-files/error-0x80070780-the-file-cannot-be-accessed-by/1164289b-1581-458e-a442-1608db087a71 There's a number of ' settings.xml ' files within Kodi, but in the userdata folder they all fall into the addon_data, my suggestion is to copy all the folders except that one, then manually make a new addon_data folder in the correct path and copy each entry individually and see which setting file is the issue. Delete the offender (if it's not locked), it's likely to be a problematic corrupt add-on. RE: Copying userdata folder from old PC - ntropy - 2018-04-28 Well Kodi seemed able to startup fine without that file being copied from the old PC, only this time I copied four levels up from the userdata folder up to the XBMCFoundation.Kodi_4n2hpmxwrvr6p folder. When I just copied the userdata to userdata, Kodi startup would hang. But when I copied from XBMCFoundation.Kodi_4n2hpmxwrvr6p to XBMCFoundation.Kodi_4n2hpmxwrvr6p and told it to skip the files it couldn't copy, Kodi startup came up with an environment familiar to what I'd seen on the old PC. RE: Copying userdata folder from old PC - PatK - 2018-04-29 In most cases, the settings.xml file from add-ons are re-built in default mode if there's isn't one already present (There's so many add-ons available, I couldn't genuinely say all). You may still run into an add-on that will give issues, but it should not bring down the works. |
