I'll look into it.
That would be great ! I also think in EU we often disable these kind of automatic lookup's as we don't understand what kind of data is transported to the Updateserver ( data privacy ) so to be able to disable the automatic update check is useful. On the other side it should be independent on the usage. I have all my MoOde RPi's always-on as the need so less power, that I don't want to wait for the boot time. So a cron/at job could do the background work silent and place a flag-file in case of a new update. Then the MoOde UI could just check -once a day - on a status change (play,pause etc.) if the flag-file is available. A steady "flash" symbol in the menu bar might also do the signal job. It will disapear when the flag-file is no longer available ( which will be after the next cron check )
Just ideas - there are many ways how to implement this. There might be a complete available py or php function/library for updates ...
