When I attempt to replace the guisesettings.xml and type in "kill all -9 xbmc.bin"
I get the following error
sh: invalid number 'all'
sh: can't kill pid -9: No such process
sh: invalid number 'xbmc.bin'
any ideas?

Hi Guys
I have been trying to transfer my data from Atv2 to my pivos ixos running linux. The problem I am having is that when I copy my backup to my sd card my "Tv Shows" marked watched are there but when I click on any of my shows it comes up this file is no longer available. All my shows are there and working in Video/ files and when I set content from there it duplicates it and works but no marked watched. I am not very tech savvy but is there an easy way to do this?
Why does the Video files work and not the "Tv Shows" and "Movies" files not work?
Kudos on the great work on this add-on. The new data only feature would be amazing.

I've been trying to think of a temporary fix for the GUI settings issue until something more permanent is introduced.
'Lateral thinking' so to speak, and I think I've come up with an idea that in theory would work.
Basically:
You set up your system with two profiles.
One profile can be left in it's default configuration, the other you customise to your requirements.
You then use XBMC backup to create a back of your system, ensuring the config files are saved, and use your customised profile as you normally would.
In the event of a loss of GUI settings, you switch to the second profile, and run the restore you previously saved.
This then restores the GUI on your primary profile, and because it wasn't in use when the restore was applied, when you return to this profile everything is as it was before the loss/corruption.
All good in theory. Haven't tried it yet though.
Any thoughts?

Hi Guys,
How can I call another add-on at the end of restoring process? Please provide the code and where to put it inside XBMC Backup add-on. Thanks.

Thanks for the logs. I don't see any python errors in the whole file, just this one line looks suspect:
ERROR: - Error getting /mnt/usbdrive/Emerg_Backup/20140130/userdata/
Almost looks like it can't read that directory from the filesystem. Does it exist?

thxs for the reply robweber,
that directory existed but was formed when I did a backup and got errors and it didn't backup. so the directory was created but wasn't filled with the userdata or addondata folders. so that would probably explain that error. i'm doing a restore right now on a different ouya with an earlier file, 20140113, and it errored out until i deselected (under file selection) the first line "user addons." After deselecting user addons it seems to have restored OK.
just read your post #515 and see that you may be putting an update out that may fix this
Hopefully you can get it sorted with an update as it was working flawlessly for me in the past and the program is greatly appreciated by its users.. :o)

I am unable to backup as well and get the same script failed error. I setup xbmc just a couple of days ago and haven't been able to backup at all. Is there something in settings I need to do to make it work? I am trying to backup on the same windows 7 pc.

Hi Robweber;
I have tried multiple times to Restore my backup cross platform and still can't get any files from my Movies or Tv Shows to work (This file is no longer available. Would you like to remove it from the library) is this a bug with possible fix or am I doing something wrong?

I found a work around for the cross platform library not working. I brought up the context menu and used the "Play from here" feature and it works from there. It is an extra click which will certainly suffice but it would be nice not to have that extra press.

I installed the XBMC backup to a windows 7 computer that I have dedicated for multimedia entertainment. I was able to do one backup about two weeks ago, I had it scheduled to do an automatic backup once a week but it missed the backup as I put the machine to sleep at night. Since then I tried a manual backup and I get a script error. I did an uninstall of the backup addon but still get the script error as the uninstall does not remove the old directories for some reason. I think the script error has some problem with the path to the backup file but I'm not sure. Probably I should go in and delete all the directories, uninstall and reinstall and see what happens. It appears that I'm not the only with this problem.
