The statistics are stored in the SqueezeCenter MySQL database, so there is no harm deleting the old Plugins/TrackStat directory. Just make sure you don't delete the directory where you have stored the TrackStat backup files if you have made manual or scheduled backups of TrackStat statistics. The safe way to upgrade is: 1. Before you upgrade SqueezeCenter, perform a backup of TrackStat data through the Backup section of the TrackStat settings page 2. Upgrade SqueezeCenter 3. Install the new version of TrackStat through SqueezeCenter Settings/Advanced/Extension Downloader Step 1 is only important if you do a clean install in step 2 where the MySQL database is deleted, because then you will need the backup to perform a restore from file in TrackStat settings page after step 3. Unzipping the new version as described in the wiki is the old way of installing plugins, with SqueezeCenter 7.3 the preferred way is to install through Extension Downloader. -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.isaksson.info) 'My download page' (http://erland.isaksson.info/download) (Developer of 'TrackStat, SQLPlayList, DynamicPlayList, Custom Browse, Custom Scan, Custom Skip, Multi Library, Title Switcher and Database Query plugins' (http://wiki.erland.isaksson.info/index.php/Category:SlimServer)) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49483 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
