Option to Export/Import Subscribed and Favourites

[SDRoffey]

Hi,
Would it be possible to add an option to export/import Subscribed and/or Favourite podcasts?
I want to send mine to a friend, but can't find a way except sending them a copy of my database (currently 3.1GB...).
Many thanks,
Simon

Sure, it would be relatively straight-forward to add an export function. Import would be a bit more tricky but I'm sure it would be possible. I wonder what format would be most widely useful, OPML perhaps?

In the meantime, the expedient way to export your subscriptions and favourites would be to use sqlite to query them out of the database e.g. for subscriptions:

select name, extid from programmes p, subscriptions s where p.progid=s.progid order by name;

And for favourites:

select name, extid from programmes p, favourites f where p.progid=f.progid order by name;

Of course, depending on the exact information you are wanting to export you may well need to adjust the queries accordingly.

Hi Matt,
Any more thoughts on this, is it an option you might add?
Thanks,

No further thoughts on my side I'm afraid. Being realistic, although I like the idea it's not something I'm likely to implement personally as it's not 'scratching an itch' of mine. I'd of course be happy to review and assist getting a Pull Request merged if someone else has the enthusiasm to implement it though.
