Hey @gariklihodey,
You’re absolutely right to ask before proceeding - here’s the accurate breakdown based on how ALPHA channel updates are handled.
You’re running version v0.068 of Volumio on a Raspberry Pi 5, which is part of the ALPHA testing channel. This version includes a predefined sentinel file that locks your system to the ALPHA OTA update path.
When you enabled Test Mode under Developer Settings, your system switched to the BETA OTA channel instead. Since no BETA build corresponds to this alpha series, the system reports:
“You’re already on the last version.”
This is expected behavior due to the mismatch between your installed build’s OTA channel and the channel now being checked.
To receive the v0.069 update via OTA:
- Disable Test Mode in Developer Settings
- Reboot your system
- Check for updates again
If your build is unmodified and correctly set to the ALPHA channel, and the 0.069 OTA has been published, it will appear and install normally. Manual re-flashing is not required.
Kind Regards,
