How to Update your AVideo Platform
There are two ways to do it, the following method you can use to update the Streamer and Encoder. Always make sure the Streamer and Encoders are up to date or you may have some problems with the encoding process.
go to your AVideo dir and type git pull
cd /var/www/html/AVideo/ && sudo git pull
you can update the encoder the same way you do for the Streamer
cd /var/www/html/AVideo/Encoder && sudo git pull
In the simplest terms, git pull does a git fetch followed by a git merge.
You can do a git fetch at any time to update your remote-tracking branches under refs/remotes//.
This operation never changes any of your own local branches under refs/heads, and is safe to do without changing your working copy. I have even heard of people running git fetch periodically in a cron job in the background (although I wouldn't recommend doing this).
A git pull is what you would do to bring a local branch up-to-date with its remote version, while also updating your other remote-tracking branches.

Some users sometimes change a file, and can not do a git pull command, usually, they get this error:
... Please, commit your changes or stash them before you can merge. Aborting
the solution is to force you to overwrite your files, you can do this command.
sudo git fetch --all && sudo git reset --hard origin/master

Use your favorite file transfer to download a master copy of AVideo and upload it to your site.
Remember, always check your AVideo menu -> Update version to run a script update. Never skip a version!
Always when you make an update, check your plugins for any plugin update or table to install
Make sure you run it even if your plugin is not enabled
In case you need to roll back any update you have 2 options. In both cases, you will need to access your database
First, connect into your Mysql
mysql -u root -p youPHPTube
you will be prompt for the MySQL password
then update the database
UPDATE configurations SET version = '6.5' WHERE id = 1
So your site will think it is on the version 6.5 and will open all your updates again
You can manually run the updates.
Go to your update directory: cd /var/www/html/avideo/updatedb/
Execute a MySQL command to run the update mysql -u root -p youPHPTube < updateDb.v6.5.sql
You will be prompt for the update
You can see available updates on the plugins on the plugins manager. below we show you an image so it may help you to understand the numbers:
- There are 3 versions to update on your Streamer platform, to update, use the instructions on this page.
- There is a newer version of your plugin on the market place, for this, you need to download the plugin again and overwrite the plugins file.
- You already have the newest files on your Streamer site but it requires some database update, so just click on the button to update it.
