This is what I do (just did it yesterday). This is for an rPi setup, but the same thing has worked on both Windows and Linux setups (just check LMS > Settings > Information to see the equivalent location of the "prefs" and "cache" folders on your system (as these vary by operating system). My rPi, piCorePlayer approach: 1. In my old version of LMS running on an rPi with PiCorePlayer I copy (download) the old "prefs" and "cache" folders using WinSCP to my PC.* These folders are in "/mnt/LMSfiles/slimserver/" (note "LMSfiles" is the name I gave the mounted USB drive to my rPi, and you may have used a different name. You can see the location by looking at the webGUI for LMS > Settings > Information tab, bottom of that page *Unless you've changed it, your UserID and PW for accessing the rPi with WinSCP (or any similar program) is: UserID: tc Password: piCore 2. Once saved on the PC, in the "prefs" folder, I locate the file, "server.prefs" and open it with windows "notepad". Once open I search for "uuid" without the quotes. It should show up in two lines. I delete BOTH those lines. This info is specifically related to your old setup and will be replaced automatically in your new LMS setup. 3. Install new version of piCorePlayer, LMS, attach USB drive, etc. following the excellent instructions here: https://docs.picoreplayer.org/how-to/ 4. Once new piCorePlayer and LMS is running on rPi, I go into the piCorePlayer webGUI and STOP LMS. 5. Then I reverse step 1. I copy (UPLOAD) the "prefs" and "cache" folders from my PC to the correct location on the rPi using WinSCP. 6. Then on the piCorePlayer webGUI I START LMS. At this point when you open the LMS webGUI, you should see that your favorites, plugins, etc. are back in place. I recall that a handful of plugins may require some attention at this point, but fairly minor stuff. Perhaps you have to go through the simple "spotty" steps to authorize Spotify on your new LMS. *Home:* VBA2.5 4TB -or- rPi4B-8GB/pCP7.0/4TB>LMS 8.1.x>Transporter, Touch, Boom, Radio (all ethernet) *Cottage:* rPi4B/pCP6.1/4TB>LMS 8.0.x>Touch>Benchmark DAC I, Boom, Radio w/Battery (Radio WIFI) *Office:* Win10(64)>foobar2000 *The Wild: *rPi3B+/pCP4.0, hifiberry Dac+Pro, 4TB USB (LMS & Squeezelite) *Controllers:* iPhone11 & iPadAir3 (iPeng), CONTROLLER, Material Skin, or SqueezePlay 7.8 on Win10(64) *Files:* -Ripping-: dbpoweramp > FLAC; -Post-rip-: mp3tag, PerfectTunes, TuneFusion; -Streaming:- Spotify ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=112436 _______________________________________________ Squeezecenter mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
