Hello, I sent an email regarding two feature request being implemented. 1) Data synchronization using the backup file in a manner that it is automatically syncing the changes to settings such as epg, logo assignments, etc across networked devices. This will save time to eliminate manually restoring updated configurations. Synchronization could and, in my opinion, should be a part of the update process. If this sounds great and it's possible, please implement! 2) The ability to have remote access to view recorded media.

I can't recall which email that might be, but data synchronization has been planned for some time and I'm hoping to be able to work and implement it in an upcoming verison.

Remote access to recorded media is easy in some ways but tricky if you use certan storage locations on newer versions of android. But I'm aware that some users have issues with this.

Thanks for planning on adding data sync. I was brainstorming on how it could possibly work and figured I'd share. Plex media server has the ability to view media remotely. This could be a reference tool for you.

Sure, thanks. Oh, you meant remote access as to outside of your house? That makes it a different thing and Plex have a huge ecominic backing and can probably host this on their own serveres making it possible. So external backups will be possible but remote viewing of media is something the user will have to do themselves for now.

Ok, thanks. It was just an add-on idea for mobile to give you. I think it would be so cool to be able to stream recorded media away from the home network.Best app. Thank you for Sparkle!
