Backup,importing Mediaportal settings (1 Viewer)

[Sentinel]

Hi allz.

This idea come from:after installing new clean install I lost all my settings.

With the new stable patches we need clean install make and we lost all settings.

When the configuration have this new option, we can easy all settings backup into xml files, and import from settings xml files.

backup general settings,
what directorys we used
what plugins we used
what we set in the video,tv
.
.
currently we can only tv channels backup with radio and recorded tv

peace

So you wanna export the contents of MediaPortal.xml to an xml file?!??!

mPod : all settings stored in the MediaPortal.xml?
the channel and other infos, paths stored in the db3 database files not only in the xml file and where is the registry? MP write in the registry, or this is not necessary?

I can after patch overwrite mediaportal.xml? this file is not updated with patches?

Exactly. You can use your MediaPortal.xml after an update. But please note: This *can* break stuff, depends on what has changed and how old your settings file is. So in case you experience something weird, you have to check with a clean install if the problem also occurs there before you post to the forums/irc. Keep this in mind. :wink:
