Can't find Photos II 1.0.5 Update

[spiderman1]

I am unable to update Photos II to 1.0.5 via Frontview in the Available area.

Where can I download the addon from? I cannot find it on the Readynas site other than the original addon.

Thanks.

You want to go to the Add-ons/Install tab and update from there.

As yoh-dah mentioned under Add-ons > Installed > ReadyNAS Photos II you'll see in the bottom left a notice that an update is available.

It's one of the nice improvements from the overhaul of the add-on GUI management in Frontview.

Each time you go to Add-ons > Installed, the ReadyNAS (provided the addons are new enough) will check a URL on the web which will tell it whether an update is available. If there is, the notice about an available update will be displayed. If you want to learn more about how add-ons work you can take a look at http://www.readynas.com/sdk

The SDK was updated with the improvements earlier this year.

The Add-ons > Available section in Frontview is only for add-ons that aren't yet installed, not for updates to already installed add-ons.

You want to go to the Add-ons/Install tab and update from there.

As yoh-dah mentioned under Add-ons > Installed > ReadyNAS Photos II you'll see in the bottom left a notice that an update is available.

I have followed both your instructions and cannot find an update link nor notice prompting me to update the addon.

Any ideas?

That's odd because you should.

Have you tried clearing your web browser cache?

Have you ensured the DNS and Gateway settings under Network > Interfaces in Frontview are correct?

[spiderman1]

Cleared browser cache and still the same DNS settings are correct. They point to my ISP's DNS servers.

So you're able to send email alerts and/or check for a update via System > Update > Remote fine?

Edit: What version of the add-on are you currently running?

[spiderman1]

I'm running 1.0.4.

[spiderman1]

I'm wondering if I could resolve the problem by updating to the latest beta firmware. 4.2.20-T7.

Can you post a screenshot of your Add-ons/Installed page? Possible you need to scroll down?

Here is the snapshot of the addons area as requested.

Any chance that you can take the box to a different environment with a different router and check? We just verified with 1.0.4 and it does show 1.0.5 as an available update. Just thinking something is blocking the checks.

[spiderman1]

I have a WNDR 3700 router. What port or service could be blocking this?

It shouldn't but I'm just wondering why the Update check is not working for you. Alternatively, you can install 1.0.5 manually from the Add-ons/Add New page. Here's the link to the add-on page for Photos II: http://www.readynas.com/?p=5599

Will a manual update wipe-out my existing photo database? In any case, I will setup a backup in Photos II before doing the update.

[mdgm-ntgr]

Of course not. Exact same install script is run either way.

No it won't.

[spiderman1]

I did the manual update. Everything worked smoothly.

Is it possible to get access to your NAS ? I would like to determine the reason for not seeing the update widgets.

Thanks,

Please ignore my previous post.

If you wish, I can give you access to my nas.

Sorry about the confusion. Is it possible to get access to your NAS ? I would like to determine the reason for not seeing the update widgets.

Please ignore my previous post and request.

Should I put the nas in Telnet mode for you?

Let me know.
