IP Address Change for api.pushover.net

Hey guys,

Apologies if this is posted in the wrong section.

I received the following email from Pushover support:

The Pushover application “NZBDrone” that you are using is accessing our API
at an IP address that will stop working soon. If you do not take action to
correct this within the next few days, your application will no longer be
able to send Pushover notifications.

For more information on this change, please see our updates website:

http://updates.pushover.net/post/102207436277/api-ip-address-change-for-api-pushover-net

You are receiving this notification because, as of November 11, 2014, your
application “NZBDrone” is still acessing our API at api.pushover.net via
an old IP address that will be taken out of service very soon. If your
application is hard-coding an IP address for api.pushover.net, you should
update it to fetch the proper IP address through DNS going forward.

If you are not the developer of the software being used by “NZBDrone”, we
recommend contacting the vendor of that software to resolve the problem.

Application: NZBDrone
Application API key: [omitted]
Last API request at old IP: from [omitted] on 2014-11-11 07:13:36 -0600

If you have any questions about this notice, just reply to this e-mail.

I can’t see any options to change this within the nzbdrone UI, & wanted to make the devs aware in case, as per the email, nzbdrone has been hardcoded to use an old IP address for pushover.

Apologies if this has already been bought up, I had a look around and couldn’t find any duplicate topics.

Cheers!

I just wrote them an email because they jumped the gun on emailing users. Sonarr doesn’t cache or hard code IP addresses, but your computer, router and ISP all do and somewhere in that chain something is caching it, but will update automatically, so there really is nothing to do.

I’m really unimpressed with their handling of this, they really threw the developers of applications under the bus on this only an issue since they make each user have their own account instead of giving us more API calls, otherwise the email would have gone to us only.

Thanks for the quick reply!

Glad to know the issue will sort itself out - hopefully you guys don’t get inundated with messages before that happens. Would certainly make for a good apology if they raised your call limit as a response!

Raising the API limit won’t do much since most people (yourself included) cloned the app and have their own API limit.

Oh well, hopefully not too many issues, but we’re still seeing calls to our old API that we changed the IP to weeks ago, so its likely people will stop getting notifications then come asking.

@Revojames What OS are you running Sonarr on? If its not Windows, which version on mono are you using?

Looks like we might be dealing with an issue with mono here, got some more info from Pushover and it seems only OS X and Linux clients continue to use the old IP after the DNS was changed.

Yup I’m using the mono version, running on FreeBSD (FreeNAS specifically) - mono version 3.6.0.

Okay, thanks for confirming, now to figure out where the issue lies.
