LibreELEC Backupper v1.4.1.3 - TEST RELEASE

⚠️ TEST RELEASE

This is a TEST RELEASE to fix multiple remote backup location issues. Please test thoroughly before using in production.

What's New in 1.4.1.3 (December 30, 2025)

🐛 Bug Fixes

NFS Connection Issues

  • Fixed NFS path format handling - NFS now requires proper format: server:/export/path
  • Added automatic path format conversion and validation
  • Improved NFS mount options with soft mount and timeout settings
  • Better error messages with format examples

SMB Browsing Issues

  • Fixed SMB browsing - Now properly handles manually entered paths
  • Improved SMB URL construction to handle empty username/password
  • Better path validation for SMB connections

Local Location Issues

  • Fixed local location with NFS path bug - Prevents network protocols (nfs:, smb:, etc.) in local paths
  • Automatically resets invalid local paths to default location
  • Added validation to detect and prevent network protocols in local mode

SFTP Improvements

  • Enhanced SFTP error messages - Better handling when paramiko module is not available
  • Improved error dialogs with solutions and alternatives
  • Still allows manual path entry even if paramiko is unavailable

🔧 Technical Improvements

  • Path Format Validation - Added format hints and validation for all remote protocols
  • Auto-save Settings - Settings now save immediately when changed (no need to click OK)
  • Better Error Messages - All error messages now include format examples and troubleshooting tips
  • Improved NFS Mounting - Uses soft mount with timeout for better error handling

📝 Path Format Examples

NFS

  • Format: server:/export/path
  • Examples:
    • 192.168.1.100:/mnt/backups
    • nas.example.com:/export/share

SMB

  • Format: server/share or use Browse button
  • Examples:
    • 192.168.1.100/backups

    • server.example.com/home/user/backups

Issues Fixed

This release addresses multiple issues reported in GitHub:

  • Unable to back up to remote NFS location
  • SMB browsing not working with manually entered paths
  • Local location accepting NFS paths incorrectly
  • SFTP paramiko module error messages
  • Settings not applying without clicking OK
  • Missing path format hints

Testing Required

Please test the following scenarios:

  1. ✅ NFS remote backup with proper format (server:/export/path)
  2. ✅ SMB remote backup with manually entered path
  3. ✅ SMB remote backup using Browse button
  4. ✅ Local backup location (should reject network protocols)
  5. ✅ SFTP connection (with and without paramiko)
  6. ✅ Settings auto-save functionality

Installation

  1. Download the test release
  2. Install through Kodi's Add-on Manager
  3. Test remote backup connections

Known Limitations

  • NFS requires the exact format server:/export/path (colon is required)
