Hello,
I've version 6.7.1 2020-07-22 installed and I've checked for updates in the System menu. I got the following message "A new image-only release of moOde is available. Visit moodeaudio.org for more information." Is this message telling me that I must download and create a new SD-Card with the mo0de appliance, and no update is possible from the running mo0de instance? With a new install, all my personal settings and personal stations are gone without a manual backup?
Thanks, Frank
You can use Radio Manager in 671 to export the stations and then use the new, more comprehensive station manager utility in moOde 7 series to import the stations you created.
Code:
pi@rp2:~ $ /var/www/command/stationmanager.py -h
usage: stationmanager.py [-h] [--version]
(--import | --export | --clear | --compare)
[--scope {all,moode,other}]
[--type {favorite,regular,hidden,nothidden}]
[--how {clear,merge}] [--db DB]
[backupfile]
Manages import and export of moOde radiostations.
positional arguments:
backupfile Filename of the station backup. Required by the
import, export and compare.
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--version show program's version number and exit
--import Import radio stations from backup.
--export Export radio stations to backup.
--clear Clear radio stations. This will delete the contents of
the SQL table, logo images and pls files of the
selected stations within the specified scope.
--compare Show difference between SQL table and station backup.
--scope {all,moode,other}
Indicate to which stations the specified action
applies. (default: other)
--type {favorite,regular,hidden,nothidden}
Indicate the type of station to export.
--how {clear,merge} On import, clear stations before action or merge and
add. (default: merge)
--db DB File name of the SQL database. (default:
/var/local/www/db/moode-sqlite3.db
Root privileges required for import or clear.

Maybe I'm too late with updating my mo0de. There are a lot of newer versions released since version 6.7.0. Playing Radio/Spotify works great and didn't even check the settings menu for a long time. Is that the reason I'm unable to update from the web interface, or is updating not possible because of a new major release, so everyone is required to fresh install mo0de between version 6 and 7?
Thats correct. The changes between 671 and the new 7 series were too complex and thus it was not feasible to develop a reliable in-place update.
Thanks, the update and the import was successful!
