Pushed Add-ons updates?

spiff Wrote:no. who are we to force any updates on anyone.

Well, another way of looking at it is that you're (sexually:-) harassing majority of users as they are *forced* to turn it on (I'm not kidding).

I'm merely suggesting flipping default to on. I'm not going in moral discussion explaining that as soon as I download Add-on I'm stating that I'm interested in add-on and future updates so that it doesn't get broken.

Finally it can stay where it is, so those not willing to update can turn it off (when they find it:-)

But I do agree, that it is hidden and not very noticeable.

At first glance, it seemed that you have to enable auto update for each addon separately. Bot now i can see that it's enabled globaly.

Also, why is that option not activated by default? Is there anything bad in having up to date addons? And you are not forcing anything since you can turn off it easily.

yeah, it's obviously gonna be dead easy for all you guys to disable it, you did such a great job of looking around for the option to enable it... ;P i'm not wasting time on this discussion, i enabled it by default and was slammed for that earlier.

it's consistent ui behaviour. see e.g. how you enable the login screen for profiles.

Add-ons do not come directly from the XBMC team, if I'm not mistaken. Adding auto update on by default could create more problems than it could solve.

I would seriously dislike auto updates to be on by default. Same as Windows Update, for instance.
