Save favourites to file BTV5 ?

[jets]

A friend of mine likes to save all kinds of favourites on his B5 but they all go to the home screen.

Is there a way to save them to a file folder in the external memory like a USB stick or microSD card?

Thanks JETS

Technically, the only reason they show up on home screen is because they are part of the "favorites" category, and that is an typical AndroidTV type behaviour. Just like if you have VOD or TV Series favorites tagged, they will show up on the second row, when you highlight VOD or TV Series.
Don't forget that he can also create "multiple" favorites categories if he wants more control over them. Some people like to create a favorties category for each member of the family, others prefer to create one per category (Movies Channels, News Channels, Networks, etc..)

To Backup, just follow DU's instructions. And make sure he saves it to USB or other storage. It should create a .ZIP file, which internally contains a .yaml file with all the details. These servers and favorites can be sldo restored to any other buzzTV 5 device (B5, E5, Classic, X5, U5, etc..)
