Feature request-Software updates

Hi guys

 

The new 6.0.2 gave me an idea.

 

I know that PlexConnect's DNS is stopping software update from ATV feature so i have an idea:

Since PlexConnect released it worked on all new version except of apple's little https try which found a workaround in 6 hours (amazing!). I suggest that PlexConnect wil NOT block new updates so we won't have to change DNS, but every new version that comes out (6.0.3 &/Or 6.1 and next ..) PlexConnect WILL BLOCK until it'll get a new command no to block (cause the guys checked the update and found it safe)..

 

What do you say? :)

Or, just change the PlexConnect config so that it does not block updates and set your ATV to manual updates.

Where do i do that-And that's an option to be easy for users to-In the trailers settings to choose if blocking updates or not :)

look in Settings.cfg

look in Settings.cfg

I mean an easy option in PlexConnect/Trailers app option :)

I think that changing DNS is easy enough, and safer than using PlexConnect to decide if ATV firmware can be updated or not.

Yeah this isn’t going to happen.

You can always just turn off PlexConnect and go into search for updates :wink:

And an option in settings?

He said no.

Hm. There is an option in settings - as Trudge already pointed out:

Settings.cfg -> prevent_atv_update = True

I mean a setting in trailers/PlexConnect app settings :) So it'll be easiest to update :)

So I repeat what I said

The thing is: The DNSServer handles ALL connect aTVs equally. Changing a global setting (Settings.cfg) from a local device (ATVSettings.cfg) will confuse your network/Plex/aTV-mates.
