Starting with Android 11, Google has implemented scoped storage which removes the ability of the adb program to access /sdcard/Android/data/. This has the unfortunate side-effect of preventing adbLink from accessing Kodi data at /sdcard/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi, meaning no backup/restore, no edit of xml files, etc.

To work around Google's restriction, adbLink will determine if the file location /sdcard/Android/data is accessible. If not, adbLink will instruct Kodi to look for its files at /kodi_data/org.xbmc.kodi/files via the /sdcard/xbmc_env.properties file.

If you have questions or comments, please email jocala@jocala.com or visit one of the forums linked below. adbLink produces a log file, adblink.log, with each run. Include it in your email or post if you're having problems.
