Upgrading dizqueTV

Upgrading from dizqueTV 0.0.60 or higher

Not docker

dizqueTV has an automatic database migration process when upgrading versions, so there should usually not be any major issues when you upgrade.

• Stop dizqueTV
• Take a backup of your .dizquetv folder.
• Replace the executable file with the new one. E.g in windows you would be replacing your old dizquetv-win-x64.exe with the new one you downloaded from the release page.
• Start dizqueTV with the new executable in the same work folder as before. Depending on the version, it might need a couple of minutes to migrate the databases. It's a good idea to pay attention to the logs during this.

Docker

Hopefully you set up dizquetv's docker with a volume pointing to container folder /home/node/app/.dizquetv . Then the upgrade process is just the same as above. Just make a backup of the volume before updating the image.

Upgrading from pseudoTV

It is possible to upgrade from pseudoTV 0.0.51 or later to dizqueTV is possible. For older pseudoTV versions you might need to start up from scratch.

• Stop pseudoTV
• Take a backup of your .pseudotv folder.
• rename the .pseudotv folder to .dizquetv
• Start dizqueTV with the new executable in the same work folder as before. This should start a migration process that might take some minutes. It's a good idea to pay attention to the logs during this.

If you used commercials. The commercials in each of the programs will be changed to Flex time. It's a good idea to review your channels' programming after the migration. You might also need to tweak the ffmpeg and plex settings as they have changed quite a bit.
