Backup does not fully restore installed plugins and their specific settings/sources #2907

Description

@shaktimaan0707

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open Cloudstream and add a repository.
  2. Install multiple plugins from the repository.
  3. Configure specific settings, preferences, or custom sources for some of these plugins.
  4. Create a backup using the app's built-in backup feature.
  5. Uninstall the app and perform a fresh installation.
  6. Restore from the previously created backup file.
  7. Navigate to the plugins/extensions section.

Expected behavior

The restore process should completely replicate the previous state of the app. This includes:

  • Restoring the added repositories.
  • Automatically reinstalling all previously installed plugins.
  • Restoring all plugin-specific settings, configurations, and sources.

Actual behavior

The restore process only adds the repositories back to the app. None of the plugins are installed, and all plugin-specific settings and sources are missing. The user is forced to manually browse each repository, identify which plugins were previously installed, reinstall them, and manually re-enter all specific settings and sources.
