Incomplete Backup & Restore

Issue description:

Hey,

first of all a big thank you for this great app. I used it for a few days now and instantly fell in love with it!

My issue with the backup & restore feature is, that it produces incomplete results (at least with creating the Backup on Phone A and restoring the Backup on Phone B).

For example:

  • Synced Lyrics: the “center text” setting is not set on the import phone, even though it was set on the export phone (everything else works fine eg: font size, “show miniplayer”)
  • Artist: I set local artist photos manually on the backup phone(because symfonium does not recognize the pictures in the music folder, which is organzied in the standard kodi layout), but on the import phone every artist gets the standard “no picture” icon.

Did I may have missed a certain setting, or is the backup function lacking? In such a case: are there any plans for a standard import of localy saved artist pictures?

Missing settings in the backups can sometimes happen if I forget :slight_smile:

I’ll check that one.

For the moment backups do not contains user data and images, it’s still planned check other requests.

AFAIK there’s not real a layout that is standard globally for all providers hence why it’s not here yet.
Can you link the official Kodi doc about that ?

Thank you very much for your incredible fast reply! Very much appreciated.

I guess these links could help:

As a tldr:
I have a music folder, therein are the artist subfolders. And in every artist subfolder lies a file called “folder.jpg” oder “thumb.jpg” (both filenames work) and all the albums from that same artist.
If I remember correctly, my old jellyfin instance also handled it the same way

So if Symfonium could interpret this structure accordingly it would be great. So there woul be no need (at least in my case) for a blown up backup file that includes artist pictures. I dont know if symfonium does that with album images already, as I have them included in the .flac metadata

Well Kodi is special with a specific other folder with the artist images don’t think others support that.

For the rest no solution do support multiple artists and so don’t really works.

Ok, I undestand.

But nonetheless, thank you for your time and effort :slight_smile:
