Marcs Updater

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.

Just checked it now, and it seems to be working, but it seems to pop up a message every time it gets back a nochg message.
Any way to suppress that on the nochg response, or somehow check if the IP address changed before pushing an update?
Thanks a lot!

Does it produce nochg updates by itself or are you clicking "OK" in the settings window which triggers an update? It should only ever try update the IP if it has changed since the last successful update or after a week has passed since the last update.

Hm, I thought it was happening by itself, but I did try checking the settings a few times, and probably clicked OK - I haven't noticed it since last night, so that might have been the problem.
Thanks a lot!
