But too my surprise the many of my settings are gone despite checking everything but profile. My main menu is very different like factory settings and my video locations are not correct. Where did I go wrong?(2019-12-30, 01:39)themusj Wrote: Hours later . . . I could not get SMB to work, nor any of the other options, including the USB stick I spend an hour on before Kodi recognized it and my TV. But even though Kodi Backup would see it, it wouldn't write anything to it. And SMB, I tried for hours today to get it to see my Mycloud device with a shared folder. Now on my Windows PC, I could get there, but not on my Android devices.
I finally had to save the backup directly to the limited storage space on my TV. I understand a new version is coming out, but it requires Python 3, which I understand will not work with Kodi 18.
Am I the only one who has had a mountain to climb with this add-on. It is greatly of value, but getting the place to store the backup and then see it to restore it has been quite a challenge.
Indeed, just found out my TV is out of disk space making it another challenge to get that backup in a location accessible to the restore feature.
