Marcs Updater - Issue - Jan. 23, 2011

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.

Works great, exept for one issue.
After recent update to 232, the console shows "last update: never" "last result: nothing"
It is, in fact, updating. Just not showing.

I'm glad to hear you will be fixing this bug in the next release "last update: never" "last result: nothing".

Another bug or maybe you killed that notification but at one time in the past 6 months or so your app use to have a balloon pop up from the systray saying that the ip was updated. With your latest version the balloon never pops up anymore.

Can your bring that back?
