BackupSettings for Tv Server and Media Portal (4 Viewers)

[Der_Bub]

Hi,

Is it possible to exclude scedule settings from default function/Button ?

Often After a partial restore, I forget to set scedule settings and so no Backup is made

Der_Bub,
try to use the "default" button before you start a backup.

Hi lucanso,
hope you found the public BackupSettings thread.
Following up your question on the mesage "Recording or Timeshift folder does not exist" from the backupsettings plugin,
you need to manually change to a foldername which exists in your directory structure. Open the Tvserver config and go to
recording-> folders or timeshifting -> folders
Timeshift and recording folder should not need to be the same, but you can use the same folder for all your tv cards.
greetings, huha

ok just installing latest version 1.2.2.10 and as screen shot attached shows, when i click on `readme` I get an error message `could not open`.
Now I have checked the file path it says and indeed its not there. I have also checked the `mediaportal\docs\` folder and its not there either.

Where should or is the offending read-me?



sigh, never mind i feel a bit of a plumb now you have to hit install before the read-me is available doh!

or maybe not so much a plumb as the read-me actually states `Click the buttons “Readme”, “Install” and “Exit”.`

So it should be there first?

wow export took only 1 minute 13 seconds and my output size is 3.52 GB, pretty impressive, will test if the restore works as expected at some point but looking good so far, thank you
I usually do this manually and have to reconfigure me tv channels etc so will save me a whole bunch of time. Is this going to become an integral part of MediaPortal, ie come with release 1.5 or something?

Nope, since a plugin gives a lot more flexibility to both the plugin developer and Team MediaPortal, but there have been upgrades on the TV Server import/export

Hello,

is it possible to restore settings from 1.5 with a (clean) Install of 1.6 pre Release to use MySQL 5.6 and InnoDB?

Thanks!

I have used my 1.5 backup after a clean install of 1.6, seems to work fine.

I did the same thing, but it worked only perfect with the the TV Service. I have an dedicated tv-server. Wit the MP-Main Programm I found all Plugins and Skins importet, but not the settings. I had to them all manualy.
