HowTo for Update?

Post by tsch »

Hello,

just did a upgrade for all packages on my Pi 3 but MyMedia didn't update at all.

Which is the correct way for an update of MyMedia?

Kind regards

Currently, on all OS types, the way to upgrade is to reinstall using the same installation instructions that you used to install.

My Media will detect the existing instance and update in place.

We will be adding a repository so that linux based installs can just apt update in the near future.

Hello,
I've followed this process to upgrade myMedia but unfortunately, it seems that the new version is installed in addition of old one :

My Media Servers page :

Code: Select all

Label	               Local IP Address	Local Port	 Version	Last Heard	                OS
raspberrypi	       192.168.1.253	        52050	1.3.106.0	09/01/2019 à 16:37:26	Unix 4.14.79.0
raspberrypiNew       192.168.1.253	        52050	1.3.112.0	09/01/2019 à 19:14:21	Unix 4.14.79.0
I can't select the previous one and the new server installation is "blank". Could you please help in order to get back all my previous config?

Thanks.

Think we've resolved this via email support?

The issue was that the update was done under a different pi user account to the original installation which caused a blank configuration to be used and thus a unique My Media server GUID to be created.

Solution was to uninstall then reinstall under the original user and the original settings were picked up
