Backup/restore, scheduled channel reset, and the data caches.

Backup & Restore

Download Backup

Download a complete backup of your Teamarr database, including:

  • All teams and their configurations
  • Templates and presets
  • Sources and event groups
  • Settings

Restore Backup

Upload a .db backup file to restore. A backup of your current data is automatically created before restoring.

Restoring a backup replaces ALL current data. Restart the application after a restore.

Scheduled Channel Reset

For users experiencing stale channel logos in their media server (e.g. Jellyfin). Schedule a periodic purge of all Teamarr channels before your media server’s guide refresh; the channels are recreated on the next EPG generation. Leave disabled unless you’re seeing this problem.

Field Description
Enable Scheduled Channel Reset Toggle the periodic reset on/off
Reset Schedule (Cron Expression) Standard cron format; presets like 30 2 * * * (daily 2:30 AM) are available

Set this to run shortly before your media server’s scheduled guide refresh.

Gracenote Category Overrides

Customize what the {gracenote_category} template variable renders for any league — the value professional guides use as the program title (“NFL Football”, “NASCAR Cup Series”). Pick a league, enter your text, and it applies immediately to the next EPG generation. Overrides survive Teamarr updates (built-in league data is refreshed on every startup; overrides live separately and always win). Clear an override to restore the built-in value, which is shown alongside each entry.

Data Caches

Teamarr maintains several caches. Each tile shows live counts and a clear/refresh action.

Cache Contents Action
Team & League Directory Cached teams and leagues from ESPN and TheSportsDB (enables offline matching) Refresh Directory — pull the latest team/league data. A Directory Stale badge appears when a refresh is due.
Game Data Cache Schedules, scores, and odds Clear Game Cache
Stream Match Cache Stream-to-event fingerprint matches Clear Match Cache
Run History Processing-run logs and statistics (auto-cleaned to 30 days after each run) Clear Run History

The Team & League Directory refreshes automatically on first startup. Manual refresh is useful after adding new leagues or when team rosters change significantly. Clearing the game-data or match caches forces fresh lookups on the next generation run.
