Thanks for the information. I use this regularly on LibreElec with Kodi 20 Nexus (not sure the exact LibreElec version). Logs would be the next step to see what's going on. Generally for a failure right at the beginning it's usually some kind of file permissions issue - sometimes it's an issue with a particular addon where a lock is on a file (like a .so library) kills access.
The addon is currently maintained. Not exactly offended at the question but am curious why people always ask that? The last commit was only 2 months ago and for something that's relatively stable that doesn't seem out of line. Many of the outstanding issues in this repo are from no follow-up on the part of the original creators after fixes or suggestions have been given. Again, not offended at the question but no other repo I work on seems to get this question.
edited this as originally I said Kodi 21 but I'm on the current stable release 20.5
Hi Rob - And thanks for the reply. I'll generate some logs from both instances over the coming days and post them. Any level of logs specifically you need?
It would be good to know what version you're currently running, as i have a funny feeling it last worked for me on version 11.0.4 and both instances are now on 11.0.6 (latest at time of writing)
In regards to permissions, i've chown'd the remote location recursively with guest user access and recursively set permissioning levels to 777 (for testing purposes.) I'm wondering whether another addon is potentially causing it issues? I do run my instances quite minimally and dont run any dodgy repo's or illegal streaming addons. (no streaming addons on one instance and netflix & amazon on the other, but both have the issue) mainly just local file playback.
The apology was mainly due to not wanting to be badly recieved for asking. As i'm very thankful it exists and rely it on for backup purposes. I wanted to double check it was maintained as i was seeing some unanswered issues and just wanted to check prior to save myself a lot of time troubleshooting my instances to infinity expecting to find a fix.
Not being a dev myself, i dont know enough about your build pipeline for this project and whether you had some automated build process potentially sanity checking it, running tests or patching it and uploading the changes automatically to this github project, i saw most files in the home folder had long standing dates into the years. (altough i understand a project like this dosnt need to change drastically often!)
I've also been having the issues for months. And normally have witnessed these issues to go away on their own when addon's are updated in line with the libreelec updates. But this one as of yet is still problematic for me.
It's likely an issue with my side, or another addon i'm running as im sure a lot of people use this, and im not seeing a stream of similar issues.
What is weird, is that it never gets past 0% progress of gathering info. With Librelec being it's own Just enough OS, i didnt expect it would be an internal permissions issue as others would be having it. Also wouldnt have through permissions on my remote side would be effecting the addon during the 'gatherinf info' stage of the process. That seemed weird. I'd be interested to know whether yours works fine on 11.0.6. (I update through the settings > libreelec > available updates > and select 11.0.6)
OK so i thought i'd get these over to you as quickly as possible. As i was doing it i tried a few other combinations of settings. It seems that whenever i tick and enable backup of 'addon data' the issue happens. If i untick 'addon data' in the 'simple' selection field. Everything runs as expected! However, when i get the issue, it hangs LibreElec, so i can't actually upload my logs via the GUI. I have however managed to generate list of the addons that i have enabled. And theres more than i expected (mainly due to the large number of emulation/retroarch plugins that are enabled individually. :) So the logs below are actually from a sucessful backup! I did however monitor the logs using the web hosted log addon 'log viewer'... and then started a backup with 'addon data' enabled to try and capture a few log lines during the crash and i captured this:
2024-03-17 01:38:55.763 T:1748 info
I'll try deleting that addon and trying again.

Running LibreElec on 11.0.6 (latest as of current date) on two RPI4B's, addon failing on both.
Add on using default settings as per the restore to 'default' settings button in the addon.
Addon hangs indefinitely at "Gathering File Info..." No timeout, no error.
Options configured on both are
Tried it with 'local location' set and 'remote location.' Tried it with and without an underscore in the name.
Remote location: smb://192.168.1.125/mnt/disks/Unassigned_Backup
Cant actually get a working configuration at all out of it. Is there known issues with it right now before i start generating logs from both instances? And is it currently being maintained? (not being funny! Just asking...)
