If I backup my watched staus using this addon, move the library to a new location and then restore the backup will the watched status be restored correctly?

If you mean you are going to physically move the library files to a new location, then no this will probably not work. Backing up your watched status (ie, the video database) will save everything exactly as it is mapped. If you move your video files to a new location then you'll have to add that source to Kodi and the database will see these as a different set of files. Your best bet in this scenario is to use the Library Export utility in Kodi to generate NFO files (use separate files). Move all your video files and the NFO files to the new location. Then add the "importwatchedstatus" setting to your advancedsettings.xml file. After that rescan the library. If this isn't what you are doing, give more detail and I can give you some better steps to follow.

Hello all, trying to get the hang of this, how would this procedure be done in trying to do this backup on the Amazon Fire Stick ?..I have gotten to the point of authenticating to the Dropbox account..I realize that it's possible to do it from my PC because i was successful in doing so, would really like some assistance with this, thanks.

Once the Dropbox account is authorized you can just push files to it. The tricky part is creating the developer account needed to generate the key and secret you need to enter into the addon. Read the Dropbox part of the README file. https://github.com/robweber/xbmcbackup

Hi Rob

I tried to do a restore on my OUYA from a backup I composed on my PC and tweaked. Adding in the android paths to the backup addon and inserting the Android guisettings file. The file was compressed. When I tried to do the restore I got the message error writing to path : android address.

I could get it to restore fine if I first of all did a compressed backup then a restore. It worked perfectly. It also seemed to work if I first of all did a fresh start.

I am posting the log but not sure if it is giving any errors.

Is there any reason why I can't compose the compressed backups on my PC then restore them on my Android?

You're right, there isn't any information in the log but it doesn't look like it is even attempting to copy files either. I see where it copies the zip but that doesn't ever appear to finish. There should be another log line where the source is then set to the zip file and you'll see "Gathering files" in the log. Is before this where you get the error? It's odd you see an error on screen but it doesn't show up in the log. Can you confirm if any files are written to the android temp file, listed as /storage/sdcard0/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/temp/ in the log.
