How to export current VLC for Android settings WITHOUT Google sync?

Postby thoste » 09 Mar 2022 07:53

I bought a new smartphone and want to setup VLC for Android on it exactly as on the old smartphone.

How can I export all the current setting into a LOCAL (!) Android file (for later import on the new)?

I don't want to use Google Sync for that.
Everything should be done locally (by copying (exported) settings file from smartphone to smartphone).

How can I achieve this?

There is nothing in the app for that. your only chance is to copy the content of

Code: Select all

/data/data/org.videolan.vlc.debug/shared_prefs
. But you'll have to get a root access on both devices.

Thank you for the answer.
However this is disappointing

Can this feature be added in the next release?

Probably not. It has not been asked a lot and it may cause some issues.

What are the settings you wanted to migrate?
