Dropbox does not work for me about xbmcbackup HOT 8 CLOSED

Can you generate a debug log? That would have the exact error in it. You're never getting prompted to visit Dropbox and authorize the application? That is the first step when running via Dropbox for the first time. See the README for exact instructions.

The versions you are pulling in from the Kodi repo should be fine. The 1.0.5 version is not pushed there yet, I'm waiting for dependencies it needs to be added first. 1.0.5 adds Google Drive support and it needs several libraries in the Kodi repo that need to be updated.

Thanks for the fast reply. No, i did not get the message to authorize dropbox. The interesting thing is that this also happened on my PC where I installed XBMC for testing. In another thread I read that this can happen, if the keys are not right, but I rechecked it and think I entered them correctly.

The log: http://pastebin.com/WZs4TBeh

Hope it helps you, don't know, whether this is already the debug log.

You can use xbmclogs.com to post logs if you need.

I see a lot of 401 errors from Dropbox that come back as "Unauthorized" when trying to run the backup. This means that it can't generate the start of the Oauth request you need. I did a test on my own box and this happens when either the secret or the key are incorrect. On mine I purposly put them in wrong and got the same error. I'll try and add some error checking to alert users to this in a future update.

One way to fix it if you have access to your file system would be to find the "settings.xml" file in the userdata/addon_data/script.xbmcbackup folder. Open this and cut/paste your secret/key into the correct xml values. Don't mess with any of the other settings, but save the file. Restart Kodi to make sure the new settings get loaded, and try again. If this doesn't work check what permissions you gave the App in Dropbox when you setup the application account. Could be something wrong there.

I put the log on pastebin now (since it does never expire there).

Just rechecked and I think I put the data in correctly, so I will check the xml file.

After checking the xml file, I recognized that I typed a "1" instead of an "l", since they look very similar in the font used on the dropbox developer site.

Now I only need to get Kodi minimized on Ouya / access to the log files while Kodi is running, so I can press the ok button after authorization.

Worked with adb, so I close this issue.
