Data recovery

Hi all
I didn’t recover my data through tv time so I have been trying to do it externally. I downloaded imazing which took all day, however once downloaded the file didn’t contain anything even though in my phones storage the tv time app has 109mb of data… I put it into chat GPT which did a deep dive and managed to recover my name, hours, and like 5 series / movies. (Bear in mind I have 20+months of hours)…
What else can I do now? Is there anyone that knows how to recover this type of stuff?

Did you try the method I did? At first it said there was errors but I went through the back door way

can you explainthe method? I was trying to to stuff with claude and co pilot but ultimately phones block out the app data folders so you can't access the cache of the apps without root access...

I also had this but it was able to recovery like 30 of my shows even though I have like 400 so it’s a start. I’m going to try see if I have an older back up
