Update Question #63

Closed chuco61 closed 6 years ago

chuco61 commented 6 years ago

I've just realized that I am using an old version of omxplayer-sync, since I have all my slaves and master currently configured and communicating ... what is the best way to update to the new version of omxplayer-sync, rather than going through all the installation steps again?

Thanks

Replace /usr/bin/omxplayer-sync with the newest version from Github and install the latest version of omxplayer from here http://omxplayer.sconde.net/.

Thank you! essentially I would run these two commands? From your tutorial. wget http://omxplayer.sconde.net/builds/omxplayer_0.3.7~git20160713~66f9076_armhf.deb dpkg -i omxplayer_0.3.7~git20160713~66f9076_armhf.deb

I dont need to uninstall the previous version? How can I check to see if by chance, I am actually running 0.3.7? I doubt my version is current, but I would like to verify.

No, the previous version will be updated. You can check with dpkg -l | grep omxplayer.

awesome, thank you!! so those two commands, and I should be good to go

Why don't you just try it and open an issue if it fails...? Why would you update if everything is working as expected...?

chuco61 commented 6 years ago

Currently, there is a pause and desktop shows after the video is done. So I am assuming that the seamless loop is not current in my version. I am asking now how to do all of this because I am at work and want to know the process before I get home, otherwise, I'll have no idea where to start. Thanks everyone for the direction.
