Supress update warnings

[martinjuhasz]

So there is a new version available for mediathekview. Is there some way to supress the update notification on bootup of the dockerfile?

It will stay in this screen until it gets clicked away. meaning that a docker restart of that container will halt the mediathekview until i went there and click it away. No "abos" will run until this is gone.

an update to the docker would be great!

@martinjuhasz from what I am reading in the forum, you can block the update notification via settings.xml https://forum.mediathekview.de/topic/4393/meldung-software-update-abschalten-version-13-7-1/5?_=1632290941746

I don't want to add some sed commands to the startup script and make this decision for the user, because in the worst case this might corrupt the settings.xml file?

@Goeste I am still on 13.6 as this is the latest version which could be run as cli, therefore my motivation to stay up-to-date is not that high... Thanks for reminding me :D

This would be perfectly fine for running this in a docker environment. Sadly the automatic_update_check setting did not work for me.

I'm still seeing this udate screen when starting the docker

In case someone else might stumble upon this issue as well, i want to leave this info:

The xml flag in the settings does prevent the popup from opening that opens after MediathekView has started. But MediathekView has two separate update checkers. And the one coming from install4j, i was not able to get this removed.
