[Fixed] IMPORTANT ANNOUCEMENT - Rasplex Update 1.6.0 for RPi2/3

There seems to be an issue with update server, which includes GetRasplex.

The update server has been disabled at the moment, please do not use the update feature as it will install the wrong image for RPi2/3 and will not boot.

If you want to install the update then please download the appropriate image from GitHub and flash using GetRasplex, using select file and choose the file you downloaded. Our apologies.

We are working to get this fixed.

Regards

Update server issue should now be resolved, update is available only on pre-release channel at the moment.

Sorry for any inconvenience caused to anyone.

Regards

I’ve been holding off on hitting “Update and Restart” in RasPlex until we had the all clear here. Does the fact that this option has been showing since before the issue was resolved mean that my Pi has already downloaded the wrong image?

If so, then presumably I need to clear it out in order to then download the correct image for the update? If you could confirm and then point me towards where I need to clear out the update files, that would be great!

Cheers

If this showed up some days ago then yes you have the wrong image installed, go to the Update folder and delete the file then go into Check for updates in Preferences.

Regards

That’s where it should be.

Have a look in /storage/.plexht/temp/autoupdate/, file gets moved to the /storage/.update/ path after selecting update and restart.

After you have deleted the file restart, the Update and restart should have gone and then check for updates.

Hi, coming back from holidays, I saw a new version was available. I hit the install & reboot option so I click it. After a while, i stopped the installation as it froze for several minutes.

Long story short, then I went back to the update section in the preferences and downloaded the 1.6.1 and rebooted.

But the system is still showing 1.0.3 after reboot. When I click “Check new version” on the release release channel, it says i have the latest version available.

I’ve deleted the files in the temp et in update but unfortunately it won’t work.

I’ve manually downloaded the .dmg file for my RPI 2 and will put it in the /storage/.update/ via ssh. Hopefully it will work after reboot.
EDIT : not enough space to copy the whole img image… Any suggestions?
EDIT 2: In fact, followed the instructions from nedthenerd in the 1.6.0 announcement post (download manually the tar.gz, extract the .tar and put it in the /storage/.update/ folder.

AND IT WORKED!

EDIT 3: Arf, freeze on boot at the rasplex screen… I had to flash to a new SD card to get it worked. Maybe the previous SD was faulty or the new version can not work on a 2GB only SD. But finally : IT WORKED!

2Gb is really too small for a stable system, recommended minimum is 4Gb Class 10 SD card for performance and stability.
