Keep stuff before clean reflash
I hadn't used XBian for a while. Now I started using it again and had a lot of things to update. Something went wrong along the way and I believe my card is now corrupted, as I keep getting errors when trying to update.
I would like to do clean reflash with the latest XBian image, but it would be great if I could salvage some of the configurations/addons/favourites/licenses/etc that I have before reflashing. Basically save as much time as I can reconfiguring Kodi to my liking. Is there any way to do this? |

RE: Keep stuff before clean reflash
login via SSH and backup/copy the folder "/home/xbian/.kodi".
If kodi/xbian versions dont differ too much, you can copy back one on one with new install. And of course always keep a backup with the Kodi backup addon or the backup feature in the XBian menu. There are only 10 types of people in the world: those who understand binary, and those who don't |

This function within Kodi was broken for a long time. You have to update some packages first before doing that. And now we have chicken-egg problen. Update does not work, no backup works. So better using xbian-config selection 6 in ssh session |
