Best way to update Wetek Play2 from 8.0.2 to 8.2.1

JohnWB · November 6, 2017 at 10:16 AM

I did a clean install of 8.0.2 on my Wetek Play2 when it came out and its running fine.

I would like to upgrade to 8.2.1 and was wondering if there is a way to do this without doing a clean install.

Yes. Try first read faq about update process and then everything will be much easier for You. Just copy .tar file with new libreelec to .update folder and reboot your box. Should be updated without losing anything

The wiki might also be a good start for reading

FYI.. 8.2.0 is the current official release, not 8.2.1 (which doesn't exit) or 8.2.0.1 (which is pi hardware only)

The sources you added will be migrated during the update as well as the database will be migrated as well. So generally there's nothing you have to worry about ;).

But as always...backups won't hurt. If you want to be sure, just backup your userdata folder to somewhere else.
