Important Note: Github recently updated their download URL's to timeout after 5 minutes. If you are having problems downloading 9.1 due to the timeout, you can grab the files from https://fpp.kulplights.com/ . We are trying to find a better long term solution while we also hope that GitHub will reverse this change.

NOTE: The OS level has not changed since 9.0 and remains at 2025-08. There is no need to do an fppos update if coming from 9.0.

Installation Instructions

If you have a system running 9.x, you can go to the FPP about page (about.php) and click on the "Manual Update" button. At that point, a big green "Upgrade" bar should appear on the main status page. Click on that to start the update process. It may take a long time to upgrade. Likely 5-10 minutes. You will need to reboot after the upgrade is complete to finish the upgrade process.

For users of FPP 8.x or older, due to incompatibilities with the underlying libraries, an "OS Level" upgrade is required.

  • Re-image - you can backup your 8.x configuration, create a new image, and restore the configuration.
  • In-place upgrade - This requires you to have the latest FPP 7.5 or newer and all updates already running on the device. On the "About" page in FPP, there is an "Upgrade OS" choice selection where the appropriate 9.1_2025-08 image can be selected. FPP will automatically download the fppos file and install the upgrade. It will take a LONG time. When done, it should reboot into 9.1. At that point, go to the Uploads tab of the FPP File Manager and delete the fppos file.

NOTE: In SOME cases, the reboot will fail due to library replacement. In that case, a power cycle may be required to get it back up and running.
