Moode 9 - duke.g - 05-19-2024
Hi all,
I prepared a fresh SD-Card with Moode 9 an tried to restore a backup from pre6. That produced an error:
Unsupported Backup File. Only moode 9 series backup files can be used for restore.
Kind regards

Well,
I found the Solution myself: the Backup-File has the wrong name: It has to start with "moode9_" but the Filename from pre6 starts with "moode_9_". So one has to remove the first underscore.
Many thanks for the increddible software

Right the pre release backups have a slightly different file naming scheme. I should prolly mention in the announcement that backups from moode 8 can't be used to restore to moode 9.

@Tim Curtis
Judging from the number of support requests we've received, I'd suggest you also emphasize even more strongly that the moOde install *will* fail if the default username and password (and, hence, default user directory) aren't created before first boot.
Kudos on getting this release out the door!

Kent

The port was a real challenge! Thanks, and thanks to @bitlab :-)
RE: Moode 9 - nullstring - 05-19-2024
Since this is slightly relevant..
Tim, can you tell us if it's possible to do in-place upgrades from version 9 pre6?
just sudo apt-get dist-upgrade? or what?
RE: Moode 9 - Tim Curtis - 05-19-2024
Dunno because we don't test or support that scenario. Moode ships with package locks for core packages and has never been apt upgrade safe and neither has the Raspberry Pi OS. They always recommend installing a fresh image when they bump to a new major Deb version (every 2 years or so).

Ok. Thanks for the feedback!.

I'm glad you mentioned that, I was planning to restore the backup from moode 8 on the new moode 9 install.
I'll look at it as an opportunity to redo things from scratch, my playlist is huge and can probably do with a revamp perhaps!
I'll probably stick with the RPi 4 for now, I haven't seen a compelling reason to upgrade the hardware to 5 yet.
Thanks for all your great efforts, much appreciated!

You can try restoring playlists manually via the command below. The backup zip can be from moode8.
Code:
sudo /var/www/util/backup_manager.py --what playlists <Path to the backup zip file>
