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:

  • New "Generic SPI" output

Enhancements:

  • Collect individual channel ranges for outputs instead of one large range to allow xLights to create smaller sparse FSEQ files
  • Enable multisync send/receive on interfaces that may come up or restart after FPPD has been started
  • Reduce the delay between sequences
  • Display media name and fseq name that is playing on status page along with playlist

Bug fixes:

  • Make sure fppcapedetect is run AFTER /home/fpp/media is mounted so the information about the detected cape is not overwritten
  • Fix regression where EVENT environment variables were not set
  • Add event control channels to range of channels to load from fseq files
  • Fix BBB panels "Output by row" not displaying fades correctly
  • Fix "zombie" processes being left from running scripts and events
  • MQTT sending wrong "secondsTotal" when only media is being played
  • Fix blanking of channels when stopped
  • Pi - fix matrix outputs should require all 3 chains to be equal length

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.
