[#BOXEE-4668] Apps from 3rd party repositories do not auto update - Boxee Issue tracker website

Boxee Build Number:

0.9.21.112xx
Operating System:

ALL

Description:

Hide
When you host apps in 3rd party repositories and you increase the version number for that app in your index.xml, boxee should detect this and automatically update the app. This doesn't happen. Kind of of a vital feature for a 3rd party repository, hope this can be given some priority for being fixed.

fixed at r11970.

From now on, there should be a field of <repositoryid> in the descriptor.xml file.
for 3rd party apps this field should not match "" or "tv.boxee".

The application id contains the repository id (namespace) for third parties.

for example:
<id>com.mysite.application-id</id>

instead of adding another tag to the descriptor.xml
the repository which is a substring of the application id value
