Backup TVHeadend server via SSH

  • My current configuration is 2 RPi3s running Kodi. One is linked to the TV via HDMI and the other is running TVHeadend server headless. I'm (slowly) moving over to a single RPi4 and I'd like to avoid having to mess with the TVHeadend settings (Rumster Forest but needs different channels from those TVHeadend sets).

    Is it possible to back up the necessary bits using SSH? If so how?

  • - stop tvheadend addon

    - then you can copy the userdata folder service.tvheadend42/43 to your new device

    these folder is also availableat the samba share or (path is just from memory) /storage/.kodi/userdata/addons/service.tvheadend42

  • Thanks.

    Your memory was nearly correct - samba:

    \\digipvr\Userdata\addon_data\service.tvheadend42

    I would have been searching for quite a while without your input.
