Read the storage folder path from the database - cc_music_dirs.
It is common on raided systems to mount /home on another drive and to put storage on that. I would say the public folder too. People put custom customized homepage code, widgets & extra stuff in there.

I think @Robby262 tried with #178 and I think it worked but haven't heard back from him.

I used the new tarball and it had a couple of issues which I flagged up in #182
I would recommend an immediate reboot after the update.

Sweet, so it's mainly the overlapping shows bug (and the reboot thing which I consider minor compared to what's going on with overlapping shows). Thanks for reporting #182 btw.

Before the update there was no overlapping show but immediately after opened admin - without a reboot, it appeared so I do not think that is a coincidence and it has not reappeared since. The repeating show ended at exactly the time of the update. So, I figured in the way of caution, it might be a the mismatch of versions/database change - hence my suggestion for a reboot before running it.

@celiandu61 git pull and ./install is the proper way and I updated the docs with #188 to show that. You should consider having a backup of everything in case anything goes wrong and it is also recommended that you have a fallback system available during the upgrade to ensure broadcast continuity.

Ok, thx for your answers ! What do i need to backup ( to be sure to forgot nothing ) ?
Config files, database, storage folder and it's all ?

Exactly, the config files at /etc/airtime/, the storage folder which is usually at /srv/airtime/stor, and the database should cover what you need.

Read the storage folder path from the database!

The /systemstatus page at «Settings», «Status» shows the path the path without needing to access the db directly.

Well yes, but I was thinking about a backup cron.
