Is there some way to completely disable the constant search for updates?

There seem to exist functions to manually force a search for updates and the problem is that with a few repos and plugins installed these searches really puts a high i/o load on my slow sata-disk and xbmc gets almost unusable for a few minutes, so is there some way to disable this?

Disable automatic updates/notifications will only disable the updating itself, not the searching for new updates.

Or if someone could just point me into the right direction of where in the code this is handled or alternatively a patch that would also be nice.

In the addons section of the system menu, press left to bring up the side bar. You can disable auto updates there.

This was what I was referring to, this will only disable the automatic updating, not the automatic search for updates

This may be the right place: https://github.com/FernetMenta/xbmc/blob...taller.cpp , starting at line 355. Not entirely sure though, but it creates some repo updates jobs there. Could be it

Thank you, at least it lead me to where this function is called from to patch the behaviour and make it optional

Great, want to share your patch?
Did you make it optional on compile- or runtime?
