From versions 5.2-5.4 I'm not able to restore kodi from my backup.  Any ideas?  I can do a backup but not a restore.  The message I get is: "org.xbmc.kodi not installed".

Thanks Jocala!

[jocala]

Odd. Try a restore to force the error, then send a copy of your log (before closing adbLink) to jocala@jocala.com.

[cdkao]

I just sent you the logs.. Thank you for looking into this.

[jocala]

If you're having issues using ad hoc connections I've posted a beta to test.

It's not a full install. The zip file contains only adblink.exe, just drop this into your install folder to replace the current 5.4.

5.5 resolved the restore issue.  Thank you so much for your quick resolution!

[jocala]

You're welcome!

the link to github or the github itself is down - is the source for this still available?

[jocala]

Source is posted at jocala.com. The link is below the changelog.

I am trying to backup my Fire TV 4k max with adblink. 
I get an IP connection but when I press 'backup' it says 'busybox install failed'. 
The log entry is 'adb: error: target '/data/local/tmp/adblink/busybox' is not a directory'

Any ideas how to fix this?

Thanks and best regards, 
Stefan

Can you please send me a complete log? Paste it in an email to:  jocala@jocala.com

There's a beta available for adbLink v5.6

It makes changes to the device database, so a backup is first created. To revert, uninstall the beta and rename ~\AppData\Roaming\.jocala\backup.db to adblink.db

Current changelog:

File Manager now uses drag and drop for pushing files
and directories from the local filesystem to the
Android device. Although deprecated, the previous
method of pushing files can still be used by
checking "Use old file manager" in preferences.

Application preferences now saved in a JSON file

APK install directory retains last location used.

Backup/restore directory retains last location used.

Scrcpy arguments dialog is now optional via preferences.

Utility menu function added to clear database

When notified a new version of adbLink is ready
for download, view changelog is now an option. A
utility menu function has been added to view changelog
as well.

Utility menu function added to view system information:
(architecture, devicename, manufacturer,
filesystem scope status and Android version)

Ad hoc IP now accepts a port.
Enter ip with format: <ip>:<port>
Default is port 5555.

Edit Kodi XML files (scoped storage) bugfix

Edit Kodi XML files (non-Android) bugfix

Scoped storage restrictions are now detected
automatically for Android 11 or greater devices.

For adbLink and adbLink2, WSA (Windows Subsystem for Android)
devices are connected via a utility menu selection.

QT C++ framework updated to 5.15.2 for all platforms.

Windows scrcpy updated to scrcpy-win64-v2.1

Windows adblink/adblink2/wsalink are now x86_64 only.

I'm running adblink on Win10 Pro. When I launch adblink I get a prompt that their is a new version available (version 5.5). I go thru the steps to download and install the latest version (5.5b). When I launch again it still prompts that their is a new version available. About indicates that version 5.5b is installed.

[jocala]

Should be fixed now.
