Restoring a multimedia device to previous settings

A computing system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• one or more memories storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the computing system to perform a process comprising:
• storing a first configuration of one or more settings of a set-top box as a restorable settings configuration,
• wherein the one or more settings of the set-top box comprise settings affecting an output of multimedia content by the set-top box,
• wherein the restorable settings configuration differs from a default settings configuration of the one or more settings of the set-top box;
• in response to a user input from a remote control communicatively coupled with the set-top box, adjusting the one or more settings of the set-top box to a second configuration that differs from the restorable settings configuration;
• providing, to an application associated with a content provider of the set-top box and usable for an administrator of the set-top box to manage operation of the set-top box, an indication that the one or more settings of the set-top box differ from the restorable settings configuration;
• determining that a trigger event for restoring the one or more settings of the set-top box to the restorable settings configuration has occurred,
• wherein the trigger event comprises receiving, from the administrator of the set-top box through the application associated with the content provider, a command to restore the one or more settings of the set-top box to the restorable settings configuration;
• and
• without individually adjusting the one or more settings of the set-top box and in response to determining that the trigger event has occurred, restoring the one or more settings of the set-top box to the restorable settings configuration.

A non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a computing system, cause the computing system to perform operations comprising:

• storing a first configuration of one or more settings of a set-top box as a restorable settings configuration,
• wherein the one or more settings of the set-top box comprise settings affecting an output of multimedia content by the set-top box,
• wherein the restorable settings configuration differs from a default settings configuration of the one or more settings of the set-top box;
• in response to a user input from a remote control communicatively coupled with the set-top box, adjusting the one or more settings of the set-top box to a second configuration that differs from the restorable settings configuration;
• providing, to an application associated with a content provider of the set-top box and usable for an administrator of the set-top box to manage operation of the set-top box, an indication that the one or more settings of the set-top box differ from the restorable settings configuration;
• determining that a trigger event for restoring the one or more settings of the set-top box to the restorable settings configuration has occurred,
• wherein the trigger event comprises receiving, from the administrator of the set-top box through the application associated with the content provider, a command to restore the one or more settings of the set-top box to the restorable settings configuration;
• and
• without individually adjusting the one or more settings of the set-top box and in response to determining that the trigger event has occurred, restoring the one or more settings of the set-top box to the restorable settings configuration.
