I have seen various Kodi system maintenance addons which permit the user to manually force a check for addon updates. It follows then that addons or services which run in the background could do this without the users knowledge, either deliberately or accidentally. So I was reviewing my logs and it looks like something is triggering an update check on all repos every 5 minutes. But even with debug logging enabled, I see nothing which indicates the source of this activity. So I disabled various skin helper services and addons which run in the background, but Kodi is still checking for addon updates every 30 minutes. If millions of other people have the same issue, this could present a tremendous load on the servers. I would prefer to have Kodi check for updates once per day at most, but cant figure out how to do this. A few questions then:
1. What is Kodi's default addon update frequency?
2. Where can I view and change this setting?
3. How can I disable the addon update check that occurs when Kodi launches?
4. Is there any way to track which addons are triggering an update check? (And if this should appear in the log, what would the syntax look like?)
5. Is there a global preference that would prevent addons from triggering an update check?
6. Is there any facility that would permit the skin to display a toast message when an update check occurs? (If the answer is yes, which skins support this functionality?)
7. Does Kodi have a facility that would alert the user when a repo does not respond, and offer to uninstall the repo if it repeatedly fails?
8. In the properties page for addons, does Kodi have the ability to display an indicator for orphaned addons that have no working repo?
