The edge.
Its been asked for, its being discussed, its being written, ITS COMING!!!

But, as you have asked for it, how do you want it to work?

For those who havent seen in the rats channel lists thread, hnj asked about some form of automated updater, and this is the result of that, but, how would you like it to work, theres a few options, and have also added a poll for easy 'at a glance' results

1. You wake up one morning, and you have a message on your screen, informing you that Rats channel lists have been updated, and you can then use your remote to run the plugin, and update

2. You wake up one morning, and you have a message on your screen informing you that your channel lists have been automatically updated overnight

3. You wake up one morning, and start flicking through the channels, as normal, and find that things have changed overnight, and you log on to DW to find that there was a channel update, and your receiver sorted itself out without you knowing anything about it untill you looked online

4. You have a much better idea, and have posted it below :)

Whichever option gets the most votes will be the one i will create, some will be more work than others, and im still new to all this, so its not going to be turned out in half an hour, or not by me anyway lol, but ill get there

make yer choice peeps :) poll will run untill the weekend
 
My personal view is that there is no need display message but as long its is displayed at the bottom of the channel list whenit was last updated I would be happy.
 
thats why there is a poll :)
as my preference is different to yours
lol
 
I guess number 2 is ok too but so is 1 and 4 as long it gets updated im happy lol... I would love for your plugin to be available on other e2 boxes I dont know how to make those .ipk packages though
 
4) Optional 1, 2 or 3 in preferences
 
I have gone for option 3 but having a problem getting the vu to store the download into the tmp folder when downloading from the url.
 
wow, i honestly though the options popularity would have been

2
1
3
 
LOOOOL, omg digi u really are something, i was just saying i bet something like this will happen and boom you are doing it, bloody hell man you are amazing.

what about this i probably am ask for toooooo much but it is possible to get a message saying something like:

New Rats Channel list update available:
would you like to update?
YES, NO

so in this way they can do whatever they want i would normally just click yes straight away since i love rats channel list but others may not like changes etc, so they can then just go onto the forum and see changes?

i can understand this is too much but what do you guys think? lol digi you seriously are amazing thanks mate :)
 
You want option 1 then hnj ;)
 
You want option 1 then hnj ;)

yh i do ;) , but if digi can do what the option way then this will meet both options 1 and 2 ;) if they want to update then and there then click yes, if they want to go forum and see whats changed then no and then they can as usual manually go to ppannel and update? what do u think rat?

hnj
 
Poll Ends This Weekend ;)
 
I wanna change mine too lmao

what do you wanna change to Bally ?
 
Im still waiting for the better idea to be posted ;)

:proud:

I wanna change mine to No1

Ok heres a suggestion, SMS text sent directly to your mobile with message informing you new channel list available with a link to miniweb online to accept download and install.

Would involve txt msg server thing and app for all mobile platforms and users to setup port forwarding and know their ips to set on mobile device.

Shouldnt be too hard lol :grab:

add an RSS feed to the Technomate software online site
members sign up to an RSS feed notifier
link it to their mobile
they setup port forwarding on their routers
install a dreamdroid type app on their phone
when rats list is updated, the RSS feed updates
people who have installed notifier and linked to phone get sent an SMS
they log into their receiver via mobile app
update via the existing plugin

simples ;)
