Release notes for Excito B3 software version 2.2.2

Release notes for Excito B3 software version 2.2.2
This is a new minor upgrade. The upgrade is available only as a firmware upgrade.

How to upgrade
To upgrade a running system, make sure you don't have any activities running such as uploads, downloads, print jobs etc. Then log in as admin in web-ui. Choose "Settings" menu entry. Choose "Software update" in the sub menu. Press the "Update system" button.

Since the update service depends on root access to the MySQL database, if you have changed the default password the update will fail. If it has been changed, run the update from the command line. Default options should be ok, but you need to provide your MySQL root password.

Install
To (re)install a system please read the manual, section "INSTALLING & REINSTALLING SOFTWARE".

New features and major changes
  • Squeezebox server updated to 7.5.3.

Any chance of a B2 upgrade somewhere in the near future?

Thanks for adding Sonos support! I love my Sonos system.

I have upgraded my B3 but I am not sure how I can use the Sonos support? Can you please add som more instructions on how to setup this?

I meant to say "Spotify" support, of course! Sorry for the confusion...

It obviously requires spotify-ready players, and if I understand correctly this is only the Radio or the Touch currently. Does it not work with one of those?

Hi Johannes,

Code: Select all

niklas@b3:~$ uname -a
Linux b3 2.6.38 #1 Thu Mar 17 15:53:09 CET 2011 armv5tel GNU/Linux
Can I still safely upgrade? Or should I revert to the stock kernel first?

Cheers,

Niklas

You can still upgrade, no problems. I run the same kernel.

Not to mention that bubba|2 is still on sale.

I just bought it and found myself with a good device, but with outdated software whose security upgrades are abandoned by debian (yes, etch support is over), not able to recognize my hardware (printer) and no trace of a possible upgrade. (i don't feel my files really safe, being on the web with no security updates...)

At least let us know if the testing software is stable enough to be used, I am available to test it also.
Cheers
