Updating Adafruit Video Player #180

Closed foilandwater closed 1 year ago

foilandwater commented 1 year ago

Hi,

Forgive my ignorance, but please can someone tell me how to update the Adafruit video player without impacting any of the settings of my existing installation? It is running on a raspberry pi 4 using the default installation location.

The reason for updating is that the random setting for playback has proven to not be very random and I notice there has been an update on that which is why I'd like to update.

Thanks in advance.

Hi, there are not that many settings in the video_looper.ini - just create a copy of the ini file and then do a new install of the videolooper by following the readme and then compare the fresh video_looper.ini with your copy. (do not use your old ini directly because there will be missing settings and then the looper will not run anymore). cheers

Thanks a lot for the reply, I have done this and it seemed to work. Appreciate the help.
