Where Does Showtime Store Settings on Linux?
Showtime GNOME player settings in dconf and its Flatpak sandbox folders on Linux.
Last updated
Showtime stores almost nothing. A few GSettings keys cover looping, maximize state and timestamp display. The binary dconf database holds them.
The Flatpak sandbox folders exist but stay thin. Do not expect a media library or watch history on disk. This is a settings-only backup job.
Where Showtime stores this, by platform
~/.config/dconf/user
GSettings paths for loop, maximize and timestamp keys, backed by the binary dconf database. Thin player with no library DB. Sandbox folders exist but hold nothing worth backing up.
Frequently asked questions
How do I back up Showtime settings?
Run dconf dump for the Showtime paths to export loop, maximize and timestamp choices. The sandbox folders hold nothing worth keeping. Restoring means loading the dump back with the app closed.
Where is the Showtime library database?
It keeps no library database. The app is a thin player with a handful of GSettings keys. Copying the sandbox data folder alone saves nothing meaningful.
