In theory this should work. But I wana take a backup from existing libre krypton which i think is 8.2.5 and put it on this.

Why not upgrading your existing Kypton, and then backup from there?

Kind of hard to get in to other than me saying I'd rather not. But fair statement.

Don't recall why I never did the 9x which I think Leia is. But I remember something off I didn't like.

If it was about an illegal add-on, then we don't support it. I'm just saying to not run into cat and mouse games. Most low-version guys do those games here.

No addon sh*t, some ppl just cant except an I dont like it for whatever reason answer. Normally I would upgrade,tried once before, had to roll back, Rather not deal with it again.

Good. Keep in mind that your hardware is quite exotic. If you combine this with special version requests, you maybe get nothing from escalade.

I think there's a better chance of Trump moving to North Korea than anyone creating LibreELEC builds with old Kodi versions for the XU4. Good luck.

99% of the time when someone complains about Krypton they're complaining about the skin change. The older Confluence skin is still actively maintained and available from the Kodi repo.

Oddly enough thats part of it, forgot about Jezz's conf skin.

Re Trump: lmfao

Re good luck: Never said I wouldn't use this. Just made a request, But admittedly even if there was a chance of it happening. I do know that we at least have to get something fully working / released first.

Regarding my in theory comment, if I upgrade my existing setup.

Am I right about that since afaik, it is just mods and menu changes and not core hardware conflicting code ?

Exiting setup is on an rPi.

Make a backup. If you don't like it, revert back.

You can find some hints, how to upgrade an RPi here.

What exactly you want to copy from RPi to XU4?

MoreBloodWine · May 9, 2019 at 11:55 PM

I know how to upgrade, and as I stated backup from rpi loaded to xu4.

Was asking if my theory should be right about it working since, afaik, its not core hardware conflicting code since,again, afaik,a backup is addons, changes to skins etc.

Why don't you upgrade the RPi?

What add-ons and skins you want to copy? Complete list please.

Your completely missing what I'm asking lol

Nm, ill just give it the good ol college try and and not mention results since no one seems to have an answer anyway.

Will post any bugs I findif any...

MoreBloodWine · May 10, 2019 at 1:12 AM

and fwiw, like 25 dif apps from trakt to music and some no longer available but still work.

Not to mention a multitude of custom skin & app changes etc. by me that I would rather not have to do by hand again.

No, that's your part. You had a super-rare chance to work with a XU4 developer, but you're throwing that chance straight into the dumpster.

I'm out.

To anyone wondering the same question of: Can a backup made from two completely different systems work when taken from one and put on another, provided the same underlying kodi version was used.

The short answer is an emphatic yes it does, after I upgraded my rPi to leia from kryprton, I then took that backup and put it on the Xu4 which was installed as leia.

Cant promise it'll be bug free as I'm still playing with it.
