automate the configuration process - Nucleus - 2017-06-05

Every time I setup KODI, I make 37 configuration changes, to customize it to my needs. I wrote everything down so I don't have to remember it. These changes include interface, region, language, player, sources and other changes.

So I was wondering if there's a command line option to make these changes, so I can automate the process with a script. Either a batch file on Windows or Bash script on Linux.

Ideally every single configuration option in KODI, should have an equal command line option. Or configuration file that can be modified.
Is this possible?

can I do this with Backup? Use the backup program on an existing Kodi install, do a kodi install on another machine and then restore the backup to it ?

Yes, that's what the Backup add-on is for. Or you can just copy the contents of the Kodi folder from one installation to another.
