Server Update

[all4dom 101]

I currently have version 3.2.10.0 for emby server and its telling me to manually download an updated version. I thought this was suppose to be automatic.

Not if you have the server running as a service. Then you'll have to do it manually

Or you are running on a Linux derived distribution/NAS

I have it running on win 10 pro. Ok thank u. If i upgrade, does it remove the old version?

Only the folder "C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\System" is overwritten.

 

Personally I like to rename the system folder before I start the update process. That way I can easily roll back to a previous version.

Why can't this be implemented into the installer and add an option in the server to roll back to previous version? Would save many users pain and a supported method to quickly roll back.

It's probably the same answer to the question why isn't everything I want done already ?

Actually the original system folder is renamed to system.old and the update is the new system folder so you always have the previous server also.

so just a radial option in the Gui to change to the .old directory and restart Emby (worded as "Roll back to previous version" perhaps)? Edited April 9, 2017 by PrincessClevage

or, since so once in a while I do install betas, maybe a dropdown list to a version you want to roll-back to... This week, with the stuttering issue, it happened that I rolled back 3 version numbers.
