I’ve not tried the latest but resellers choosing bouquets is a bad idea all the way around. Resellers are responsible to sell your packages how you (the admin) create them. Now, on the other hand, end users being able to reduce the bouquets with some solution like an m3u editor is better. As for streams requiring manual restart, have you collected logs? Compare streams log in sql, php logs, and syslog on that LB. Maybe it will give some hints. The php version can’t be upgraded bc part of the core files are ioncubed in 7.2. Not to mention globally the core was written with up to 7.2 standards / compatibility so that would require the entire core to be overhauled which is easier said than done being that all of it is encrypted in various methods. You’d be better off writing a new core using the non functional decoded core as guidance. Again, not an easy task. Annnnd as for mariadb, there is nothing preventing you from manually installing it. Mariadb has some perks but also comes with its own issues.@TEKO
Some major fatalities in your 2.0.6
1. If a Admin select "Reseller can choose Bouquets"...ALL Bouquets are shown and fully downloadable from a Reseller..
The not associated in packages and the hidden ones...really a huge bug...
Best is to deactivate this feature at the moment.
2. After updating to 2.0.6 issues with "User Lines>>> Manage Lines! First and other Rows not shown (No matching records found)
And this on a empty 32Core!
3. Streams must often be manually restarted, and not to mention the former Audio losses in Standard UI...even more worse now.
4. What PHP version you are using? I still see the Standard 7.2
5. Why not integrate MariaDB?
With all of this said, people in general are simply too lazy to look up how to perform some of the most important tasks like how to change out their main. Do you think they will bother to look up how to install mariadb manually or understand the differences between mariadb and MySQL? I don’t. Hope you get your issues worked out but I wouldn’t have high hopes for drastic changes like php versions and sql server changes.
