Can no longer auto-update to beta builds anymore

[Ryoujin]

I tried searching this but the search page gets sort of filtered by the firewall of the place I'm at right now. I used to have edited T's plist to be able to check for beta updates (there was a thread around saying how to do this with the Terminal, the link is in my signature).

Anyway, ever since it was oficially adopted in the builds

Preferences > General > Check for update:
√ Automatically check daily
√ Include beta releases

it no longer detects any update at all, for example, right now I'm using r7692 and the latest one is r7709.

How can I fix this so I can always download the beta builds (as I used to be able to)? I already tried trashing the old preferences (that had the terminal overwrite) and using new ones, setting it all up again but nothing worked.

This functionality should work again in the latest nightly.

Using r7709, noticed that there's a new one (r7711), but

Code: Select all

1/13/09 5:55:35 PM Transmission[119] Sparkle Error: An error occurred in retrieving update information. Please try again later. 
1/13/09 5:55:35 PM Transmission[119] Sparkle Error (continued): file doesn’t exist 
1/13/09 5:56:40 PM Transmission[119] Sparkle Error: An error occurred in retrieving update information. Please try again later. 
1/13/09 5:56:40 PM Transmission[119] Sparkle Error (continued): file doesn’t exist 

This is when I try Check for Update... in the Menu.

Still not working for me, using r7712, it says that it's the latest one but r7713 has been available for a while.

It looks like the maintainer of the nightly site stopped replacing the appcast URL with the nightly appcast URL.

Is there any work-around?

Perhaps, when Transmission is not running, go into ~/Library/Preferences/org.m0k.transmission.plist and delete the entry for SUFeedURL.

I found out an application called Pref Setter and opened the file, but I couldn't find any entry named like that (also tried filtering and nothing came up).

Ok, I got a fix to this. I went back to the old way I used to do

http://forum.transmissionbt.com/viewtop ... c&start=15

By using the terminal and writing over there

Code: Select all

defaults write org.m0k.transmission SUFeedURL http://transmission.xpjets.com/ZIP/appcast.php

Updates are now back to how they were.
