Scripting Restore #225

Closed MrC001 closed 10 months ago

MrC001 commented 10 months ago

{ "jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "Addons.ExecuteAddon","params":{"addonid":"script.xbmcbackup","params":{"mode":"restore","archive":"000000000000","sets":"config|database"}}, "id": 1 }

In the above, what is the correct format for the archive, using something like -- 202308301408 -- does not work or adding the .zip or the full URL. All works fine just launching as restore and selecting the update. Searched everywhere I can not find an answer.

Backups are on my server and saving and restore works with file selection.

Do you have any logs of when this is happening? Just now I used the below JSON to kick-start a restore on my test system. It worked as expected. For zip files you do have to add the .zip extension but otherwise just the archive folder name is working for me. 

{ "jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "Addons.ExecuteAddon","params":{"addonid":"script.xbmcbackup","params":{"mode":"restore","archive":"202308311446.zip","sets":"config|database"}}, "id": 1 }

I never tried with .zip ... I will try today.

Sounds good. To be clear I had it work with both (zip files and folders). For folders you just need the folder name and for zip files you have to add .zip.

Yep, worked fine after adding .zip Thank you !! My 77 yr old Dad thanks you. Now easy to fix his setup without spending 6 hours on the phone. All I need to figure out now (not the best coder out there) is to wait until restore complete and reboot.

Glad that worked. There is a JSON call that can do that as well if you're triggering stuff that way - https://kodi.wiki/view/JSON-RPC_API/v13#System.Reboot
