Marcs Updater - Issues

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.

I have one small issue, after computer start it wait till 5 minutes to check for IP, can this change to check and update for IP at once when service started and later on it can keep checking for IP in every 5 minutes...

Thanks, Marc for providing this updater - it works really well.

There seems to be a small problem with the timestamps in "IP Updates". They do not correspond to the computers time and seem to be UTC times. Is that correct?

Best wishes.

Hello Marc again, I am (yet again :( sadly...) posting to let you know about the "certificate issue", and the reason why I am doing this is that now it looks different. Compare to previous windows that popped-up, the one that pops-up now looks totally different. That's all I had to say, otherwise no problems with MU and I am using your program from the very beginning, i.e. from when it was still "official OpenDNS's updater" if I recall correctly (or at least recommended by OpenDNS, that's before they've developed their own).

As always, keep up the good work and best regards, Tadej from Slovenia

Sorry, aber bei mir funzt er nicht, der Updater.

Arbeite mit No-IP aber die IP wird nicht als geändert erkannt. Habe 5 Minuten eingestellt, aber auch nach 2 Tagen, keine neue IP. (Obwohl es jetzt definitiv eine andere ist) Der Dienst ist gestartet und läuft.
Windows 7

Came across this software when trying to find an alternative to the old free version of direct update that seems to no longer work properly.

So far the software is great! Its exactly what we needed.

I've noticed though that on 1 or 2 SBS 2008 PC's the installation gives errors and the program will not start. This is using the latest version.

Exception Code: c0000005
That is the exception code under the app crash. Any ideas?

Interesting: I've been using your updater for almost 5 years now, and it works great for my no-ip domains. But I have one computer in a network that refuses to update. Tried several versions including the latest, but always says 'Last Update - Never'. Another computer on the network runs the updater also, and performs flawlessly. ?

Hi Marc - I've confirmed my userid and password, your client states "The username and password pair does not match a real user" I've logged into DNS-O-Matic's control panel with the same userid and password that I'm using in your update client, which is my email address. Any ideas? Thank you!
