System Update

 * auto : when a new stable release is available for download, OpenELEC can automatically download, unpack and prepare the new release for installation. You'll then be notified about the pending update and informed a reboot is required to install the update.
 * manual : OpenELEC will check online for updates and inform you when one is found. However, OpenELEC will not download the update - you will have to manage the update process by downloading the package and copying it to the OpenELEC machine.
 * no : OpenELEC will not update itself automatically and will ignore any update files that are presented to it.
