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:

  • Link to PDF FPP manual in the Help menu

Enhancements:

  • Use libgpiod for GPIO inputs to avoid polling, integrates into normal event loop as events
  • Change to using hostapd for Wifi tethering, should be more reliable
  • Allow "If no connection" tether setting on BBB as hostapd tethering does not interfere with USB tethering

Bug fixes:

  • FPD page not showing if FPD detected
  • Fix a few issues with the Docker builds no including all the required apache modules
  • Fix start channel for VirtualMatrix
  • Fix some problems with gradients on the BBB panels not looking correct, colors off, etc...
  • Reset mixer device to default if the configured mixer device doesn't exist anymore
  • Fix the "stop" command for omxplayer to stop correctly and not pause for 20-30 seconds (or until video ends)
  • Scan various font directories for "ttf" files for fonts to use for Overlays.
  • "Outdoor" panels on BBB not displaying correctly
  • Playlist script entries hang

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 3.0 or 3.1, 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.
