shell script to get the latest nightly (old)

I have an idea about the rpis, but I do not know if it will apply to other arm socs. The "uname -m" command returns armv7l on the rpi2 image. I assume it will return aarch64 or something like that for the rpi4 image.

For the record, the 64bit version of lakka for rpi3 returns aarch64.

Instead of messing around /etc/issue you may consider using /etc/os-release.

There you go.

# cat /etc/os-release
NAME="LibreELEC"
VERSION="nightly-20220612-363112b"
ID="libreelec"
VERSION_ID="11.0"

Not requested, but I run LE on a Pine64 Rock64 device:

kodi-rock64:~ # cat /etc/os-release

LIBREELEC_ARCH="RK3328.arm"
LIBREELEC_BUILD="community"
LIBREELEC_PROJECT="Rockchip"
LIBREELEC_DEVICE="RK3328"

which may still help in learning about variations in /etc/os-release outputs

Quote from JoeAverage

but sorry I guess I never will support those platforms.

That's quite alright

Quote

why ?

look into nightly download directory and compare with your os-release.

on the first you'll see a lot of "sub-variants" (?, the part between git tag and .img.gz) for .eg. 3328, but no such sub-variants in your os-release.

Knowing that it's not automatically applicable to all devices, is useful to know.

I don't know a way to differentiate those sub-variants programmatically either.

and I feel I'm getting old, earlier ~18 h nonstop wasn't a theme. When I have bitten in a task it goes nonstop until tiredness isn't "fixable" with further caffeine and lastely realizing that I repeat the same programming mistake over and over again ...

One of the best and often underappreciated 'debugging' techniques, is taking a break/nap or plainly a good nights sleep

Quote from JoeAverage

a new version of my script is under comment #1.

and needs testing and I'm quiet sure "optimization"

anyone ?

Tested with all options "u, d, q" and all works like expected.

there is just this error message without consequence :

anyway thanks for your works.

Quote from JoeAverage

what does it print out at:

...

compressed image size is:

...

is there a value or nothing ?

value "Compressed image size" is empty :

Quote from JoeAverage

thanks Nanomani

is this still *after* un-commenting line 226 ?

I fixed the code in comment #1,

in case you can't edit the script you currently own: download it again

Sorry i read too fast. I had not seen that part ...

You are right with this line "226 " uncommented all works like a charm now.
Thanks again

Quote from JoeAverage

regarding "fast reading": DEBUG is also set as in comment #1 ?

Yes.

Tested also your lastest version 0.05 from scratch.

This mean :

- I have delete my file "get_nightly.sh"

- I have create a new one with the new code (v 0.05) in the first post

all is good.

Thanks for your work, I have quickly tested the script on RPi 4B and it works in general, but there are some disadvantages I would like to mention:

- when the download is aborted for some reason, deletion of partially downloaded image is a bad behaviour from my point of view, a better choice should be to use the wget -c so the running script again could continue downloading the rest of the file.

- the script does not detect the upgrade image (but as a downgrade instead) when there are several images released the same day, like yesterday. FYI there's a folder content & debug output including index.html below:
