Hi. Every time I run WatchedList on one of my TVs I get this error "WatchedList Error: Doing a database backup (Invalid argument)" and it doesn't create a new backup zip. Is this a known issue? Couldn't find anything in the thread about it.

The first one is only the displayed message in Kodi. In the log, you have
 

Code:

2019-06-05 17:27:41.642 T:9706 ERROR: service.watchedlist: database_backup: Error creating database backup /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/service.watchedlist/dbcopy/20190605_172741-watchedlist.db.zip: (22) Invalid argument


In the code for creating the zip file, this error is raised either as ValueError (e.g. "timestamps before 1980") or IOError (e.g. "permission denied"). Can you please check, if you have write permission on the Android device and if you have files with time stamp before 1980?

Same problem here on my Android device. Write permissions is not the issue. All addons can write to the internal storage and external (usb) hard drive.

Your suggestion is to check whether there are "files" with a timestamp before 1980.

Please explain "files" to me. Which files/folders?
