How to back up IPTV app settings
Back up favourites, playlists and settings in TiviMate, IPTV Smarters and other apps before resetting or replacing a device.
Quick answer
Use the app's backup feature where it has one (TiviMate: Settings, General, Backup data) and copy the file off the device. For apps without backup, write down your login and favourites list. Restore on the new device after installing the app.
