As previously mentioned I havent used LMS 8.0 myself and I wont be
able to help anyone personally until Ive managed to get the time and
install 8.0 myself. I cant give any indication when this will happen,
but its still on my todo list since Im interested in the streaming
services integration which is new in 8.0.
>From what Ive heard some people have manually installed at least some
of my plugins in 8.0 and said that they seems to work. People on this
forum is usually also good at helping people with problems. The only
issue Im aware of is that some people have had issues with the refresh
options (startup+rescan) in TrackStat causing LMS to hang with 100% CPU
usage, but I think this was when upgrading to 7.9.3 or 7.9.4 so I dont
know if it also might happen when upgrading to 8.0. Its probably a good
idea to disable the refresh options in TrackStat before upgrading to
avoid issues with this.
However, if you dont need the new functionality in 8.0 and really dont
want to have to revert back to 7.9.4 if you get issues it might not be
worth the risk. Id at least make sure to have a full backup of all
configuration and database files before upgrading to make it easier to
go back if necessary.
