Updating LibreELEC on PINN (NOOBS)

1st Official Post

    Hi all

    I want to try out the latest nightly on my Pi4 (8 GB) to have a look at how HDR playback is coming on, and my current install uses PINN (a NOOBS spin-off) as I'm dual-booting to Retropie.

    Which of these files would be the correct one to drop into the "Update" folder on the samba share?:

    LibreELEC-RPi4.arm-9.80-nightly-20201106-9862821-noobs.tar

    LibreELEC-RPi4.arm-9.80-nightly-20201106-9862821.img.gz

    LibreELEC-RPi4.arm-9.80-nightly-20201106-9862821.tar

    Many thanks.

    If you want to test the nightlies better use a separate SD card for now and do a fresh install with the img.gz.

    Updating from 9.2 isn't something we support ATM, you'd manually need to at least replace config.txt with current version, maybe also cmdline.txt if you changed something there, as lot of things have changed, and there's no easy way going back to 9.2 except restoring a full backup.

    so long,

    Ok so let's assume I want to try this (on a cloned SD card), where can I get the replacement config.txt and cmdline.txt files from?

    Just write the img.gz to a SD card (without pinn or a clone of your old installation), then config.txt and cmdline.txt are up-to-date and you don't have to worry about old kodi settings interfering.

    so long,
