How to rollback

[Anonymous]

1696 is crashing on my NSLU2 during scan when I use M3U playlists. How do I rollback to 1586? I have tried every ipkg option with no luck and have searched the forum. I keep getting an ipkg message to the effect that svn-1696-1 is installed and there is no action to take. Thanks.

This is what I’ve tried so far to rollback….

# ipkg remove mt-daapd_svn-1696-1_armeb.ipk
No packages removed.
Nothing to be done
# ipkg install -force-overwrite /tmp/mt-daapd_svn-1586-1_armeb.ipk
Package mt-daapd (svn-1696-1) installed in root is up to date.
Nothing to be done
# ipkg remove svn-1696-1
No packages removed.
Nothing to be done
# ipkg -force-downgrade install mt-daapd_svn-1586-1_armeb.ipk
Package mt-daapd (svn-1696-1) installed in root is up to date.
Nothing to be done
# ipkg -force-overwrite install mt-daapd_svn-1586-1_armeb.ipk
Package mt-daapd (svn-1696-1) installed in root is up to date.
Nothing to be done

-force-depends is your friend.

Thanks, fizze, but same result:

# ipkg install -force-depends /tmp/mt-daapd_svn-1586-1_armeb.ipk
Package mt-daapd (svn-1696-1) installed in root is up to date.
Nothing to be done

Weird. Well, ipkg is really icky at times.
Time to teach it a lesson!

Cd to /tmp/ first!

Do this to uncompress the contents of the ipk:

tar -xvzf /tmp/mt-daapd_svn-1586-1_armeb.ipk 

You’ll get a file called data.tar.gz and one called conf.tar.gz

Untar the data.tgz again:

tar xvzf /tmp/data.tar.gz

Then you find the mt-daapd binary in /tmp/opt/bin.
Make sure your mt-daapd is stopped, and then just overwrite the mt-daapd with this _stable_ one.

Yeah, I noticed that too — downgrading has been broken for a while. An ipkg bug.

I moved my repo config out of /etc/ipkg.d, ipkg update and ipkg install from local file.

Stupid, but there it is until they fix ipkg.

Must be more to it than that, I now get the following when I start:

The server comes up, but my ROKU can’t find it…
What all else needs to be copied?

OK, so I copied the plugins and mt-daapd-ssc.sh back and things seem to be normal again, at least as far as the ROKU is concerned. I then tried to connect from iTunes on one of my Win boxes (something I rarely do, so this may have been broken for some time and not related to the upgrade/rollback) and it just hangs. Looking in the log file I find:

The library thing happened because the location the plugins are stored changed between some versions. They are now in /opt/lib/mt-daapd, I believe, whereas before they were in /opt/share/mt-daapd/plugins.

It’s possible you moved back down to the point where the plugins weren’t in the same place anymore.

As far as the meta codes, those are just reminders to me that I’m not emulating iTunes as well as I might, and that I should work on getting that metadata from aac files.

Not a big deal, iTunes happily ignores it if the daap server doesn’t support that metadata.
