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

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.

Helly.

True as can be....but I didn't want to lead this thread into a tutorial nor do I know which xml files contain the code

Helly1206, Let me start by apologizing for a long story. It does have a point.

I appreciate your work. Everyone has their one views or "needs", and putting the final details on your customization represents (for me at least) the closest our abilities lead us to a degree of personal satisfaction.

For me, I was once a highly educated and paid professional (and who began his experience 53 years ago with Focal, Fortran, and a DEC PDP 8-S) and suffered a cognitive impairment as a I reached the pinnacle of my career. HTML, CSS, now Raspberry Pi, and yes, Kodi, have been lifesavers. I use the logic in trying to figure out how things work as rehabilitation. Your Xonfluence mod is an amazing rehab tool - it gives instant feedback, and has visual gratification that can be shared.

Searches, whether in general (like Google) or on community forums, are somewhat helpful, but mostly frustrating. Being able to make a search that is precise is not easy.

The reason why I chose the quote above is that I, too, am not rolling down the window to ask for turn-by-turn directions; just the name of the town I am looking for. (I hope I didn't show my age by the analogy to the point where "rolling down windows" is lost on too many people - cars all have power windows now I guess).

So can I impose, either by reply post, PM, or email, on the name of the .XML file I am looking for so that I can have a background against which I can see the text?

Regardless, thank you for sharing your knowledge, and putting up with those of us who can be frustrating to you.

Sorry, I don't understand your question. Can you please explain?

Thanks,

All I could see was my director's face when I was attempting to type a question.

I stopped by for a read... while checking on WAN issues here in the states.

Anyway... I've forgotten the question... LOL!!!vv
It got replaced by Web cache leaks and CORS Policy blocking due to out of date certificates...

By the way.... Xonfluence Rocks... Just when I think thats as far as I can go... another path presents itself... Thanks!!
