New user installation instructions
For new users, you need to download the appropriate image from the links below. Then follow the instructions found at https://falconchristmas.com/forum/index.php/topic,9372.0.html to "burn" the image on to an SD card. Just extracting/copying the file to a blank SD card will NOT work.
New Features:
- ArtNet support for input/bridge universes
- Pin maps for PB16 board
Enhancements:
- Button to create UDEV rules to force current network device names to be persistent
- Option for remote video to ignore sync packets and just play without slowdowns/speedups
- Option for master to specify a delay between sending the Open command and the Start command to allow remotes time to process the video/sequence
- Add Stop Now and Stop Gracefully to OLED playlist page
- Split fppd boot service into two parts to allow fppd to start later which allows IP address to display on screen
Bug fixes:
- Fix GPIO initialization on Raspberry Pi that kept GPIO/PWM outputs from working reliably
- Allow 8M channels on DisplayTesting page
- MQTT - resubscribe after disconnect/reconnect
- Fix omxplayer starting twice causing ghosting
- Fix Stop Gracefully button not enabling
- Fix sound card detection at boot if sound card is removed/changed
Upgrade Instructions:
The best way to upgrade from FPP 2.x is to re-image the device. The full OS upgrade to Debian Buster requires a re-image.
If you have a system running 3.x, you can go to the FPP about page (about.php) and click on the "Manual Update" button. At that point, a big green "Upgrade" bar should appear. It will take a long time to upgrade. Likely 20-30 minutes. You will need to reboot after the upgrade is complete to finish the upgrade process.
