Unable to upgrade/install #13

Hi. I have a MeCool M8S Pro+ that i am trying to upgrade from LibreELEC 8.2.3.1 to the 9.2.8.5 release from this project.

The readme just says

To install the update, you must copy the 'tar' file to the Update folder via SMB, and then restart the device. The update process will start automatically after the restart

I have placed the .tar file (LibreELEC-M8S-Plus.arm-9.2.8.5.tar) in the Update folder via SMB and rebooted, but i just get the same old version and no upgrade process starts. Is there a way to manually start the update? Why is it not starting automatically, if that's what should happen? I might add that after a reboot, the Update folder gets emptied...

Because the upgrade path did not work, I created another bootable SD card using the LibreELEC-AML USB-SD Creator tool as instructed. I turned off the device, swapped in the new SD card, and tried to boot, but got nothing: no signal, no sign of activity on any of my connected devices.

Please help me get a new version of LibreELEC working.

I think one channel is enough to discuss the topic, so I'll close this ticket.
