Description
Describe your suggested feature
The backup function does not back up extensions. It is a pain to reload them again after a settings restore on another device.
The app data is stored in /data/data/com.lagradost.cloudstream3/ which makes it impossible to backup app data with an unrooted device using a shell backup/restore script.
Could you make backups include everything or perhaps make the app data get stored in /sdcard/Android/data/com.lagradost.cloudstream3/ ?

Research direction
Start by tracing the app's existing backup and restore entry points, focusing on extensions and the data under /data/data/com.lagradost.cloudstream3/. Compare that behavior with the proposed /sdcard/Android/data/com.lagradost.cloudstream3/ location and shell backup/restore constraints. Done should mean extensions and app data can be backed up and restored on an unrooted Android device.
