Updating

Intro

OpenPLi is constantly updated by the developers, so it is prudent to update it from time to time and this can be easily done from the menu.

Internet connection

If you want to update OpenPLi your receiver has to be connected to the internet. Go to Main menu -> Setup and press Software update, then after a few seconds (depending on your internet speed) in this case it reports that there are 3 packages that can be updated.

What is updatet

When you press "Show packages to be updated" you will see which packages are updated, in this case 3.

If you want more information you call check "Show latest commits", which will show you what the developers have done.

Best option to update

The recommended option to update is "Update and reboot (recommended)", this option will update OpenPLi and after this has been done automatically reboot your receiver, so all updated files are installed.

Flash recommend

Once in a while there maybe many packages to update, it can be more than a few 100, then it will recommend you to flash instead of update. You can of course ignore the option to flash and choose "Update and reboot (recommended)", but it can take a long time for the process to complete or you can choose "Update and ask to reboot", this way you can follow the complete process.

If you choose to flash, the preferred method is through the menu and choosing the backup option, then everything is restored after the flash. When there is no Hard disk present use an USB stick.
