In your log you use script.skin.helper.skinbackup v1.0.28 installed Please use from this site https://github.com/kodi-community-addons/script.skin.helper.skinbackup/archive/refs/heads/master.zip now is for Matrix version="1.0.19"

I previously tried version 1.0.19. Unfortunately, 1.0.19. is worse because nothing happens when I click on backup. Also, there's no image for the icon

Sub-menu: "30 minute workouts"

I think skinshortcuts works when you change some code write as hah.Script backup only backup that changes, doesent have start for skin setings in skin folder. If you restore menu items in skin and then start restore all your changes will be restored ?!?

"If you restore menu items in skin and then start restore all your changes will be restored ?!?"

sorry, I'm a bit confused with the question.

Update: performed a clean install then restored from skin backup. As you can see nothing has been saved correctly compared to my original settings. https://github.com/kodi-community-addons/script.skin.helper.skinbackup/issues/14#issuecomment-803578937

kodi.log kodi.old.log

It saved my sub-menus and widgets but not on the home screen. You can see my original configurations in the skin settings.

Create backup before this action -Try to add, music widget in tv show,..... you always delete widget... -Change position tvshow and movie in home screen -Change orientation from verical to horisontal go to home screen to force script.skinshortcuts to write changes in his addon_data/script.skinshortcuts folder you have home like this https://i.imgur.com/R5cQp4u.png now is time to restore... When you back to home only orientation is back(that is from skinsetings.xml) but if you go to skin setings you will see that all changes are back.only script.skinshortcuts didnt start to change. I dont know how to find button to reload skin, but I triger script.skinshortcuts with changing order of movie widget to force to reload script.skinshortcuts. And finaly go to Home......all is back

try this

[Blurayx]

After a restore, the submenus still missing. The music widgets remain on the home screen but are not in the skin settings. kodi.log kodi.old.log

https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2873112/111924246-6a205580-8a9b-11eb-84b8-aadd4aad7056.mp4

After skin backup restore:

Submenu settings do not show on the home screen if they are deleted before the restore.

No music widgets configured but still remain on the home screen

Thanks

[Angelinas1]

OK reload skin dosen't triger script.skinshortcuts to write changes. But if you change order of widget in movie, and back to home will....need to have icon on home in right corner.

Thanks for your patience & hard work but I think I'm going to give up on Skin backup. I have found an alternative, using backup. Over the years I haven't had any issue with skin backup until python 3 came along 🙂

I can leave you in peace now lol
