Updating max2play on Raspberry Pi

[Nick_G]

This is a discussion I started in the BBC Sounds plugin thread, but as it turns out it's a separate issue, I thought I'd better post a new thread here.

No, not that one.

I did a test M2P last week.

I installed this image (buster) on a rpi

https://www.max2play.com/en/download/46152/

Checked that it was up to date

Then navigated to the Squeezebox page

on this page, at the top, there is a box from which one can select a LMS version

I copied and pasted this link int o the box and it loaded without a problem

Be sure to make a copy of your current image before you update LMS

The second part looks easy, as Ronnie clearly shows which box to paste the url, but I do need more detail about installing the image on the Raspberry Pi. If I download that link it will go to the Mac hard drive. Do I then drag & drop the download into the max2play icon that shows up on the local network?

Thanks.

I think this is what you need to follow.

Thanks. I may try that later. How do I copy what's already on the SD card in case something goes wrong? I'd hate to lose all my favourites and have to start from scratch.

Use an SD card copier / writer ... can go in either direction.
e.g. BalenaEtcher
Just take care over the direction and device names.

On a Mac use Apple pi baker (2nd version) always a good thing to have a back up.

You can copy the prefs and favs from max2play and install them later

Or get another SD card. They always come in handy.
