I noticed that plexamp headless 4.5.3 was available, so I downloaded it and tried to upgrade, but failed. First attempt at upgrade was to simply unzip 4.5.3 over 4.5.2. That didn’t seem to work, as I got an error when I tried to start it. I noticed a shell script called upgrade.sh so I ran that, also got an error. What is the recommended method of upgrading plexamp headless?
You probably need to upgrade node from v12 to v16.
Yes, that was the issue. Had to explicitly install node v16, but that was pretty simple. I doubt I’ll do that on all 6 of my plexamp headless boxes as none of the fixes listed really affected me, but it was interesting nonetheless. Can’t wait for multiroom though!
Thanks!

You can also run the script, and it will do the upgrade for you.
Tried that, it didn’t work.
There are many ways to “skin a cat”, so if you do a fresh install using the script, upgrades should work with script also! It will save you lots of time! I have 4, and doing it manually was too tedious, so I wrote the script.
Yeah, that script assumes that the user has jq installed, so if you really want to use ii you need to: sudo apt install jq (Should also test if node 16 is installed as well.)
upgrade.sh should be upgraded to look for jq first with which and inform the user to install it if not on their system.
