Marcs Updater - Issue - Aug. 17, 2010

There have been some reports about issues with the Updater not updating anymore. Please try the latest beta version and switch to another IP Check provider instead of the previous default dnsomatic.com. For some reason they are rate-limiting the number of requests to their service. The new IP Check provider selection allows you to choose another provider in such cases. You can test the functionality with the new "Test" panel.

If you want to add a custom provider to the unstable testing version, store a JSON file like the following under %PROGRAMDATA%\Marcs Updater\ServiceProviders\dyndns.json:

{
    "name": "DynDNS.org (Test)",
    "endpoint": "https://members.dyndns.org/nic/update",
    "method": "GET",
    "queryString": "hostname={HOSTNAME}&myip={MYIP}",
    "dataPayload": "",
    "defaults": {
        "username": "test",
        "password": "test",
        "hostname": "test1.customtest.dyndns.org"
    }
}

Supported query and payload tags are {USERNAME}, {PASSWORD}, {HOSTNAME} and {MYIP}. Restart the background service and foreground application to apply any changes.

Hi,

I'm using the SSID filter, but it doesn't work : even when I'm not at home, the IP is updated...

Any idea ?

Thanks.

The SSID filter is only active if you are connected to a WLAN, as soon as you use a cable connection or anything else that is not WLAN, the filter is ignored. You can check if the program detects your WLAN SSID by taking a look at the settings tab. Only if the text input field shows your current SSID by default, the program has detected your WLAN.
