Before running asgard's command to force an update you can run:
echo "SELECT FK_Device,IK_DeviceData FROM Device_DeviceData WHERE FK_DeviceData=234" | mysql pluto_main
That will list each device and the version it was updated to. Device 1 is the core (ignore device 19), the other devices are likely media directors. If the 2nd column is 0, then the update has not been applied yet. If it's 1, then you got the update.
Then: cat /usr/pluto/bin/DataDirectProviders.sh
The line that starts with /usr/bin/wget, if the URL is: http://webservices.schedulesdirect.tmsdatadirect.com
then the update was applied successfully.
In 1audio's case, the 2nd column in that mysql select was 1, meaning it did get the update and try to apply it. But the DataDirectProviders.sh file was old. The reason was that 1audio had manually upgraded the slimserver on his box so there were broken packages. Such broken packages were a constant problem with LinuxMCE 1.0, so 0704 bypasses the usual apt-get upgrade mechanism and instead downloads update rules from linuxmce.com. The updates themselves are still mostly .deb packages, but this way when multiple packages need to be updated in parallel across multiple repositories (ie Kubuntu's, LinuxMCE's, 3rd party kernel modules, etc.) they all get done at once. But if you manually do some updates it's possible to still have broken packages like with 1.0.
asgard's instructions assume that you got the update downloaded, but that like 1audio it didn't apply correctly. I would suggest adding to asgard's instructions to run the command like this: /usr/pluto/bin/LMCEUpdate_Apply.sh | tee /var/log/pluto/applyupdate.log
so the output is archived in /var/log/pluto/applyupdate.log and that way you have a copy of it and can paste it in this forum.
I'd really like to know re: the other users with issues if they were: 1) that you didn't get the update (ie the mysql select above shows the version is 0), 2) that you got the update, but like 1audio it didn't apply correctly because you have a non-standard LinuxMCE install, or 3) that you got the update and do have a standard LinuxMCE install, but something is broken in LinuxMCE's update mechanism.
Let's keep this thread on the topic of helping ensure everybody gets the currently released update and gets schedules direct working. I started a new thread here: http://forum.linuxmce.org/index.php?topic=2422.0
where we can post comments about the update mechanism in general and get into details about how to make it better for the next release.
