Hi,

I'm sorry that this probably isn't quite the right forum but I'm not sure which other to post in.

My linux knowledge is failing me, I am having some serious audio/video out of sync issues (Openelec latest and TVheadend 3.2.34) so want to upgrade to TVheadend 3.4.

Am I right in thinking that I apt-get remove tvheadend then just freshly apt-get install it, and that there Is no way of keeping the config?

thanks in advance.

I don't think so - apt-get is Ubuntu-alike, and you can't use that on Openelec. If you were on Ubuntu, then an apt-get upgrade would update tvh and keep your config - a removal and reinstall would, as you say, likely destroy your current config.

That said, what version of OE are you on? Are you still on the 3.0.2 in your sig? I thought the current release (3.0.3) came with support for tvh 3.4, although I could be wrong.

Sorry I described my setup terribly. I am running Openelec 3.0.3 on the Frontend, and XBMCbuntu on the backend.

Normally config is kept when you take those steps. Debian/ubuntu only clear out your configs if you purge as opposed to remove.

But there should be no need to remove. simply

Code:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install tvheadend

should update to the current version. If you want to see what version will be installed you can add -V to the install command. If you want more info about what will be installed and from where do

Code:

apt-cache policy tvheadend

If apt-get upgrade or apt-get install tvheadend doesn't get you a newer version, have a look here: https://tvheadend.org/projects/tvheadend...epository,
