[Feature] import media dump "vlc_media.db" from inside app/without root
One important feature is still missing:
the possibility to restore back the database backup. An export feature for the playlist was already asked some years ago (#211) but this is m3u format specific and importing the whole db could might be more feasible. This would finally allow a reinstall or beta-update of the app while NOT loosing all created playlists. For now, only a manual moving of saved vlc_media.db
is a working workaround BUT you need ROOT access, not usable for most users. It should be possible out of the app, like dumping the db. This workaround over the ROOT is described here:

And the article closes with this statement:
"Hopefully, VLC will introduce a feature to import media dump vlc_media.db file for us commoners."
