[gentoo-user] SMplayer: Update notification

[meino.cramer]

Hi,

I am using smplayer to play DVB-T, since Kaffeine stucks with some
channels.

This evening, smplayer notifies me, that a new version will be
available.

SMplayer is only able to know this by automonously accesing the
internet and its home site.

I dont like this.

How can I swith this off?

Best regards,
mcc

In my ~/.config/smplayer/smplayer.ini, I have these lines:

[update_checker]
checked_date=@Variant(\0\0\0\xe\0%{\x99)
last_known_version=0.8.5.5487

[smplayer]
stable_version=0.8.5
check_for_new_version=true

You may want to try setting this to 'check_for_new_version=false' and restart 
it.

Hi,

If this is bothering people, please file a bug with this information and 
we can probably have it included by default. I know we disable update 
checkers for a number of other packages too.

Best regards,
