  • Dropbox API error

    Hello,

    I am new to LibreELEC, but have been using OpenELEC for many years. I use an application called WatchedList. This application has the ability to store its data in Dropbox. While this application works fine in Kodi for Android, and works fine in OpenELEC, I am unable to get the dropbox functionality to work in LibreELEC. I get an error which states "Dropbox API Error". I went into the log files and found this in the log:

    Originally, before I managed to view the log, I thought it would be a good idea to install the dropbox addon, but this presented a similar error.

    I think this has something to do with a missing component in Python, or something similar, but I am unable to find a solution using good old Google.

    I have installed LibreELEC on an x86 machine in 64bit. The machine has 8Gb RAM and is not setup to dual boot or anything like that. It is a dedicated media center PC.

    I have also installed LibreELEC in VMware to try to recreate the problem and possibly fix it there, before I go about tackling the problem 'in production'
