Location of Skin Backup File?

caned_monkey · February 18, 2021 at 11:59 AM

Hi,

I'm using the skin Phenomenal on a R Pi4

I'm not sure if this question is skin specific or if it is the same for every skin... In settings I can select 'Backup skin settings inc. menus', I select that and I get a message saying backup successful but I cannot locate where the backup file has been saved to.

Any ideas please?

On the Kodi forum there seems to be no longer full support for the Phenomenal skin after Kodi v17...

So I'm not sure how/if things still work in Kodi 18 or 19 on your RPi4 setup.

I would start in the addon_settings folder and find the skin.phenonemal subfolder and go from there.

Perhaps you can enter your custom folder in the skin's settings file.

Everything works fine in Kodi 18 on the Pi4

Are you saying that the location of the backup file is skin specific? I would have thought it would put it somewhere a bit more obvious rather than saving it in a hidden folder.

I don't know if there are "standards" to follow when writing skin add-ons & implementing such options, so common sense would be my first choice. Just look for any setting possible.
