I think I killed MoOde/Backup MoOde settings

[UpsiUps]

The new Export/Import settings feature is part of the 7 series so going forward it will be easy to restore moOde settings to a new image.

I can add the eth0 settings to auto-config for upcoming 7.1.0 release. What else is missing?

I am using NFS for the music library. I see a [Sources] entry in the init, but no example. So could a source also included ?

For wlancountry I used "Germany" to overwrite "US" - the result was "Argentina". So is it the ISO Code (e.g. "DE" ) what should be used ? 
The name for the I2S device is like the filename of the overlay in /boot ?

I see ! Excellent ! I just tried it on my new installed system: [Sources] is showing the NFS etc. Only missing is the LAN entry. There is also an empty [Preferences] section where subsections like [Appearance] and the oters are following. The rest of this file has no order like main-section and sub-section. So IMHO [Preferences] is a confusing duplication (inconsistence) . Either you add now the other Moode-Pages as section title or get rid of Prefernce heading

Hey, I love it ! MoOde is really a great piece of software !

[Tim Curtis]

Right, I don't think [Preferences] needs to be there. I'll remove it for upcoming 7.1.0

While I don't have a problem to create a new SD when a major update is happening, It is boring to enter all the standard setup into the new system.

I understand that I could prepare /boot/moodecfg.ini, the problem is, that some parameters are not available in the default.ini - e.g. the LAN is missing and also some other stuff. Is it possible to create a dump for the ini also on moode 6+

( Here in the thread is mentioned "moodeutl -e" (not available on moode 6+) or moodectl ( also not available ) )

Why not make a disc image of you SD, once you have it up and running to your satisfaction. Then it's a simple matter of writing the image to another SD, if your current SD card "dies" for whatever reason?

[CallMeMike]

@Bob_m_54

Good question indeed... One gets really stuck in the unfortunate case of the uSD card becoming unreadable/corrupt so the 'tools' one should have are:
- the working MoOde build 'disk image' (for replicating the same uSD card)
- the updated Export/Import settings feature (for reproducing the already working and tested configuration settings on a new MoOde version)

[UpsiUps]

When you have upgraded to "System 7" , IMHO the

Code:

moodeutl -e

is good enough to recover. I have never seen a SD dying inside my MoOde Player. It is more often the case, that I need to update the whole player ( as amajor update) . So when you keep a diskimage, it will soon be obsolete or you need to import all the minor updates once you have done a recover.
Also a complete "image" of the settings will prevent to use new hardware or new MoOde functions. And I am doing the MoOde configuratione - once the hw is inside _my_ net is fast. Did it today for two devices. The real pain was: a) download of the image - due to AmazonAWS routing and b) the hardening / personal OS setup (ssh,zsh,locale etc. ) which I will script more in the future.

Summary: I am good with the current state of configuration tools
