However, I've now installed the latest (Frodo) version 0.2.1 because I wanted to use the rotating backups feature but I get an error with the script every time I try to run it.
I'm pretty sure it's configured properly as well...

The full log is here: http://sprunge.us/AECK but the relevant bit is towards the bottom:

Code:

At some point the __init__.py files that are needed to make the directories python packages were removed from the Frodo branch of the addon. Since switching branches in git does not remove the .pyo files I still had them in my development directory even though they didn't actually exist in the repo. I've added them back in, along with a few other bug fixes. Here is a link to the most current Frodo build.

2. If I create a backup to an external drive, then wipe my hard drive so I can do a clean install, can I then just import the backup from the external?

The only other thing that worries me is all the metadata and fanart I have edited over the past few years, but I assume since I exported my entire library and created .nfo files for every video that all the info should just show up automatically when I scan my video sources (they are in the same folders as the videos).

I've downloaded the latest zip but XBMC is now telling me that the "Add-on does not have the correct structure" and won't install it...

EDIT: It installs correctly after downloading the source files from github as a zip, but the zip from your link above (and in the github 'Downloads' section) is broken.

e.g. Deleting folder 20121031 instead of folder 20121026.

@John.doe - I'll try to recreate this myself and see if it is related to the RPI specifically (I have one as well) or if there is just something wrong with the Frodo version of the addon. It is not as heavily tested as the stable version at this point but in my last round of tests it did work.

@scb147 - Yes, this is an implemented feature in the Frodo version of the addon. The xbmcvfs library does not have the needed functionality to implement this for Eden, so for now the stable version will not include this. If you have a nightly version of XBMC you could try the Frodo development version or just wait until a Frodo specific XBMC repo is available as I will add it then.

@Bergy16 - the program does not support https addresses. At the moment it only supports file systems that can be read/written to by the xbmcvfs plugin - bascially anything that you can browse to as an xbmc source. Adding a remote file system, like Dropbox, is something I can put on the todo list. I know Dropbox has a python library and some tutorials on their website.

I pressed ok, it ran through a backup but I have to idea where it went?
