SMBup quit. "An exception of class JSONException was not handled. The application must shut down. Exception Message: Parse Error: Expecting "{" or "[" at position 1. Exception Error Number: 1

After updating to Mavericks 10.9.2, our Canon printer would no longer scan & send to our iMacs & MacBook Pros. We downloaded & installed SMBUp. Still trying to get it to work with MacBookPros, but has been working with iMacs. Today, out of the blue, I got the following error message:

An exception of class JSONException was not handled. The application must shut down.

Exception Message: Parse Error: Expecting "{" or "[" at position 1

Exception Error Number : 1

Now I get that message every time I try to open SMBUp. Tried to download & reinstall application, but get this message on website:

Hmm, eduo.info isn't loading right now.

The servers that run eduo.info are having some trouble. This is usually just a tempoary problem, so you might want to try again in a few minutes.

(Have gotten that message for the last hour).

Help?

iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9.2)

Hello. I'm the author of SMBUp.

While I have no record of eduo.info being down in error, I imagine scheduled maintenance sessions could be the culprit here since they look the same for the program.

I imagine what you're facing is a problem with the program trying to figure out if there is an update. I'll check the source code and see how it handles errors in connection/format. If that's the case I'll see about releasing a new version with graceful version checking a toggle for the functionality.

In the meantime, please remember the program doesn't need to open for Samba to be running and sharing and that when this error happens, it's only temporary in case the web is down.

This thread was brought to my attention by a user. I would've addressed it earlier if I had received an error report by email or twitter.

This is happening again. The app won't open and the website is down.
