Hello friends,

I've been using Xonfluence on Jarvis 16.1 since it was released on my Sony Bravia television's Android platform. Unfortunately I need to reset the television to factory default so I want to backup my Kodi configuration so I can restore it when the television problem is resolved.

I created my backup using the Kodi addon 'Backup' and to try to check that it will restore properly and completely I've put Jarvis 16.1 onto my Windows 10 computer. I tried to restore using my backup file but was told I was trying to restore to a different version of Kodi. Puzzled I let it continue. Then I realised I had forgotten to change the skin to Xonfluence so I'm guessing that's why it wouldn't/couldn't fully restore.

So... that's what I'm currently trying to do but am getting an error that begins with "Failed to install addon from zip file. The dependancy on service.library.data version....." and then the error message frustratingly disappears before the complete message has had time to fully scroll.

Having used Search to find "service.library.data", and then read some of this thread, I thought maybe running "service.library.data.provider-helix" might help but it hasn't.

Can any of you clever people shed any light on where I'm going wrong, and how I can successfully restore my backup file to a fresh install of Kodi? Presumably I will encounter this same problem when I eventually try to restore back to my TV?

With very many thanks

When I backup I just copy the entire org.xbmc.kodi folder to an external sdcard. You can probably use an external hard drive or some other media. Once your TV issue is resolved install kodi, then delete org.xbmc.kodi and copy your backup back to it. You may need to re do widgets and background art depending on what skin you use.
