IN-PLACE UPDATE
An in-place update is also available that upgrades moOde 6.5.2 to release 6.6.0. It typically takes 30 to 45 minutes to install depending on system and network speed. The long install time is due to lengthy component compiles for the new version of upmpdcli plus installation of the new 5.4.49 kernel.
IMPORTANT: The in-place update replaces the entire radio station feature including SQL table, PLS files and logo images with the new metadata enhanced stations and logos. Be sure to backup any custom stations and logos that you have added.
After the update completes and the system has been rebooted run "Update library".
NOTES:
1) Monitor progress of the in-place update via SSH using the moodeutl -t command and be sure to backup your system before installing the update.
2) The in-place update does not upgrade Raspbian 10.3 to the new RaspiOS 10.4. This new OS is only included in the ISO image download.
This release is based on RaspiOS Buster Lite 2020-05-27 (10.4) and Linux kernel 5.4.49 build #1323. Refer to the Release Notes for more information.
