as the title suggest i am trying to update to the latest pre-release and it is say update job failed here is a screenshot from the log
Worked ok for me but this was about 8 hours ago.
maybe it is just having some teething issues as it is the first release since they started the updates back up will try again if not will leave it overnight and try in the morning
Update: Nope no luck i tried shutting down and removing the service then restarting and i also tried disabling windows firewall on WHS 2011 and still not working will just leave it overnight and try tomorrow like i said
I’ll take a look, odd because it can find the find, but can’t download it.

any luck on figure out the issue i just tried again (more than 10 hours later) and still not working
I have the same problem. If you look at your .png image, I think the download address has a “/” missing . In the log, the address is http://update.nzbdrone.com/masterNzbDrone.master.0.8.0.1117.zip.
markus - should it be http://update.nzbdrone.com/master/NzbDrone.master.0.8.0.1117.zip
?? When I add the UpdateUrl key, it won’t let me put a “/” at the end of the http address.
hopefully that is all it is a missing “/”
i haven’t had to manually update it before but i would assume if i just copy and overwrite files from the zip downloaded off that address it will update as if the update button worked gonna try that now
Update: Yep that worked just copied over files with files from the zip thanks gaz_az for figuring that out hopefully that won’t happen in the next update but now that the issue has been found i would assume a very simple fix in the url address
@protocol77 - I’m glad @gaz_az was awake enough to catch that and yes the trailing slash is required, its just a text field and shouldn’t reject it for having the slash, you could put anything in there (it just wouldn’t work).
.
For the record, manually updating just entails downloading the latest release and extracting it on top of the existing one (while its shutdown).
It wouldn’t let me edit the UpdateURL key, but I just added another one and that fixed the problem.

yeah i had the same issue i added the key to the config as Update before i remembered to ask markus101 what the correct key was so i had two in my config Update and UpdateUrl i just removed the address from the first one as i initially though that might be a conflict turns out it wasn’t
anyways i can confirm for other users the manually update works just as always backup your config before hand just in case
no that we are aware of it it probably won’t be an issue in the future but just in case 
So I created the key “UpdateUrl” with value pointing to the vNext updates figuring this would be the easiest way to try out vNext. It worked like a charm and an update option was given, so I clicked update and then it froze during the update and now nzbdrone won’t start anymore. I check the update log and this is what it said:
13-6-27 17:04:37.1|Update.Program|Info|Updating NzbDrone to version 0.8.0.984|
13-6-27 17:04:37.2|Update.Program|Fatal|An error has occurred while applying update package.|System.ArgumentException: Wrong number of parameters were passed in.

So, I’m guessing I did something wrong… perhaps it was not intended to update to vNext in this fashion, but rather manually? In any case, any tips on where I should go from here to get vNext working? Just a clean reinstall?
Was wondering when people would try this.
Yeah, definitely not expected to work this way at all, the two versions are currently completely incompatible; very little has remained the same between the two versions, including a total database overhaul (SQLCE to SQLite).
There are a number of things we want to fix before people begin using it, once we’re ready to have people begin to use it we will announce it on the forums. If you want to try it out anyways, you will need to do a clean reinstall.
yea that makes sense, whoops! Clean re-install it is. Thanks for the reply!
I like being a beta tester as much as everyone else here but i think i am gonna wait as it sounds like it is more like in Alpha atm.
Don’t really want to mess my NzbDrone Setup up it is all running Smoothly right now.
@protocol77 its pre-alpha even, we’re not supporting it at all right now, if people want to try it out, all the power to them, but support will be close to nil.
also, right now there is no support for migration, so you’ll have to start from a clean database.
two good reasons i am waiting 
Have to say for an Alpha it is working really well. I have migrated over for 2 or three days now and it is working a charm !!
at this point I think vnext is a better release than the last “stable” release. we aren’t going to push it on the main update channel yet since there is no migration path. however I think we will be switching to vnext for new users on nzbdrone.com soon.
