4.1.4 UPDATE NOT WORKING

[KM4UJP]

I followed the steps in the recommended video to create a new image.
Downloaded PiStar 4.1.4, unzipped
Formatted SD card with SD Card Formatter
Used Etcher to move image to SD card.
Turned off Zumspot.
Inserted new card with new image...Nothing.
Tried using Pi IP address nothing.
Pi 0 with WiFi.

I recall that when I first set up my Zumspot a couple of years ago, that I had a really hard time getting connected to WiFi so I could configure PiStar.
I am now at a loss. Fortunately I still have the old card, re-inserted it and it works fine.
New update, no joy.
Any ideas?
One of these days maybe I will learn not to fix something that is not broken.

I forgot the wma file....

You can also just drop your zipped config file on the boot partition, the Pi will re-configure itself using that file, that will also setup the wifi

Is this now all sorted out for the v4.1.x series Andy? A while ago it seemed to have some of the new configurations missing and I have been suggesting people should be careful about this.

It should work just fine, but it would be a good idea to visit the config page after that and apply the settings - because that should fix up anything that's missing.

Yes, this is something I now do as a matter of course, but I wonder if there is an automated method to do it as a lot of people here seem not to understand what's needed.

Depending on what you are coming from - this is a minefield, its why the code for the config page is getting to be VERY long.

Yes, I did notice the commits adding quite a few lines.

Couldn't you just add the missing parameters during the import process?

Mostly, no -the parameters might be based on other values, or might need to be set to some sane base value - its a bit of a minefield, plus then I would have to do all of that in two places, how hard is it really to import the config, visit the config page and hit apply?
