Return Value
A string value of a URL to browse to for download instructions; otherwise null
Remarks
This function should check (presumably somewhere online) to see if a newer version of the plugin is available for download. If an update is available, this method should return a URL to navigate to in the user's browser for upgrade instructions, or null if no update is available or required. Note that this method will be called every time PlayOn Settings is opened. It is the responsibility of this plugin to moderate any web requests that may otherwise overwhelm a web server with version check requests.
