Marcs Updater - Issue - Jan. 5, 2012

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.

My last comment was so indented, I'm not sure if it was noticed or not. I'm repeating it here for clarity. In reply to the question on the GUI not displaying the new networks.

It's Win7 64bit but I found the problem. Along the way many empty
entries had been added to the list of acceptable wireless networks.
Hence "new" entries were being added but were so far down the list they
were not being displayed in the GUI. I deleted the spurious entries
(some were garbage) and now it seems to be working. Many thanks.

Thanks again!
