Where to save addon data? - cosmicr - 2013-05-06
I've been using the resources directory of the addon, but I was wondering is there a better place to store data created by an addon?
I see there's the common plugin cache, but I need a place that's more robust (ie won't be deleted upon corruption).
Am I best just to keep using the 'resources' folder?

Code:
import xbmcaddon
__addon__ = xbmcaddon.Addon()
__profile__ = xbmc.translatePath( __addon__.getAddonInfo('profile') ).decode("utf-8")__profile__ would be "userdata/addon_data/<your addon ID>"

Old thread but still a problem of mine.
I guess this is a solution but there must be an easier way.

According to this it's normal to have a data folder under the resources directory. Isn't there an easy way to get files from this folder rather than using the above solution? Doing an addon for Kodi 18.
