upgrade from 6 to 7 - richo - 01-17-2021

Hello,
I was wondering if there is a way to upgrade from version 6 to 7? 
I see only new image to download and no option in application itself to do upgrade.
If there is no upgrade possible and only direct reinstall, is there a way to transfer configuration options?

thank you for your kind help

No upgrade path across major versions unfortunately due to the changes to OS level parts. Once you get into the 7 versions there is an increasingly comprehensive settings export facility which can be used for this.

Thank you for your help, but is there a way to export settings from 6 ?

I think the export facility is there in 6, but I don't have a copy of 6 still around to be sure.  Also, the settings exported by 6 will not be as comprehensive as they are in 7 (and even 7 needs some manual configuration after.

SSH into your player and run:
Code:
moodeutl -h

That will give you the help file which explains the functions.  You need:
Code:
moodeutl -e
for export and
Code:
moodeutl -i
for import.
You can look at the export file in a text editor to see what settings it has exported.

Hello,

In 6+ you don't have these options. You have to install Moode 7, and then you will benefit from these new export/import abilities.

In 6.7.1 :

Code:
pi@moode:~ $ moodeutl -e                                                                                                                                                                      
Usage: moodeutl [OPTION]

This is why there's a new MoOde version... new features.

Actually, as I wrote it. It seems that you did not read the post to which I answered.
