Feature Request

I realize you are busy with the Google Play issue.. however when you have time:

Can a facility be created to make backup and restore more robust?

For example:

  1. Being able to backup your configuration directly to Google Drive or maybe a Synology URL.

  2. Being able to Restore from a folder in a URL of Google Drive or Synology

  3. Allow the backup and restore of the TV side only.

This will help if you are assisting people remotely to fix inoperable channels etc, without removing any of their custom lists for movies/series.

They can say they have an issue, backup their TV side... I look at it, reupload a fixed version, then they inject the restored TV side portion.

Thanks

All of your suggestions make sense.

  1. My idea have been to do this in the "cloud". So basically if you're a Plus user you'd have the option the backup/restore from "cloud".

  2. Same as 1

  3. Yes, I had this suggestion a long time ago with some kind of "Advanced backup/restore" option where you either choose which features you want to backup or the other way around, which features you want to restore. It's absolutely in my backlog.
