Updating Zixi Broadcaster when CEF Software is Already Installed
Due to the manual changes in the Broadcaster’s transcoder code for the CEF integration, updating a Broadcaster via the UI is not possible. Instead, from the command line, you will install the new version of the Broadcaster overtop of the existing version and then use the HTML overlay startup script mentioned above again.
To update the Zixi Broadcaster when CEF Software is already installed:
Download the new Broadcaster .tar.xz installer file to the parent directory of the existing Broadcaster installation; typically, this is /zixi.
Stop the Broadcaster process with the following command.
service zixibc stopExtract Broadcaster .tar.xz installer file.
tar xvf zixi_broadcaster-18.6.46249.linux64.tar.xzThis will overwrite the Broadcaster installation directory, but the existing configuration XML files in the installation directory will not be overwritten.
Change directory to the Broadcaster installation directory, zixi_broadcaster-linux64/.
cd ./files
mv ../../zixi_broadcaster-linux64/files/*
cd ..Download a new version of the CEF plugin from the Customer Portal, making sure that it is compatible with the new Broadcaster version.
Repeat the steps starting with the Phase 2: Install the CEF Plugin and Configure Broadcaster heading in the HTML Overlay Installation Guide.
