Hey guys

Will be there an online update in the near future? Or is there a possibility to keep the configuration while updating?
Because I updated today from Matrix Tv v1.0.0 to v1.0.2 and had to configure everything again^^

Thanks

for the xbmc config, just backup your /root/.xbmc folder. Afterwards you may restore it back simple overwriting the other one. If you use VDR or something elese, you will have to find out where the config directory is located.

Automatic update may be tricky, becouse the Kernel is located on the beginning of the flash in raw format and you will have to keep the same kernel size each time. Maybee there will be an 2nd stage loader later alowing to bootup from anywhere but now, unfortunately not. For the packages this shoudn't be problem at all.

for xbmc you can use addon xbmc backup

thanks for the hints
But I'm also talking about reconfiguring WLAN each time, so in general I would still like to have a atutomatic config backup or a separate config partition so that these things don't get lost during an update. But lets see. maybe TBS will add this feature in the future

Hi,

on Raspberry Pi there is something like rpi-update - maybe updating system like this could be implemented on Matrix...
