How to update HDHomeRun on your Mac
HDHomeRun's developer publishes each version on their own page at silicondust.com. Below is how to run that update yourself, then what Floodtide does about it, alongside every other app on the Mac.
Update HDHomeRun by hand
- Download the current build from silicondust.com. HDHomeRun's developer publishes each release at silicondust.com. Get the Mac build from there.
- Replace the old copy. Quit HDHomeRun, open the download and put the new HDHomeRun in Applications in place of the old one: a disk image is dragged across, an installer package runs its own steps. Your settings and documents live outside the app and are kept.
That is one app. The same walk, through a different menu or page each time, is what every other app on the Mac asks of you, which is where Floodtide comes in.
What Floodtide does about HDHomeRun
Floodtide's own signed catalog lists where HDHomeRun's developer publishes each release, and Floodtide reads that source directly to learn which version is current. When yours is behind, the row appears under Updates with the version that is out, next to every other app on the Mac that is behind.
The developer publishes the version but no download Floodtide can check, so Floodtide does not install this one itself. The update comes from HDHomeRun's own updater, or from the developer's site, and Floodtide is what tells you the day it is due.

Questions about HDHomeRun
Does Floodtide update HDHomeRun?
Floodtide tells you when HDHomeRun has an update. HDHomeRun is in Floodtide's signed catalog, which reads the version its developer publishes, so a new release appears in your update list with no configuration. The developer publishes no download Floodtide can check, so the update itself comes from HDHomeRun's own updater or the developer's site.
How does Floodtide install a new version of HDHomeRun?
It does not install this one itself. It shows you the new version as soon as HDHomeRun's developer publishes it, and you update from HDHomeRun's own updater or the developer's site.
