Is it possible to upgrade from OPENELEC 8.0.4 to LibreElec

  • Hello,

    I am running an Intel PC with a Core 2 DUO processor, 2 GB RAM, a 64GB SSD boot disk, and various HDDs for local storage.

    The software currently running on it is OpenElec 8.0.4 . I don't use any extensions (I might have installed a couple of them for testing but I don't use them).

    I only use this PC for listening to music and watching films.

    Can I upgrade it to the latest version of LibreElec, using the same upgrade method than with OpenElec (i.e. write the TAR file in a special folder and let the upgrade work its magic), or am I to expect some compatibility problems - for example if the database format of OpenElec 8 is different from LibreElec (I have no idea if that is the case or not) ?

    Please let me know your recommendations.

    Thanks a lot and happy new year :):)
