Hi,
I've recently been tinkering with the files on my Squeezebox Radio (NOT
upgraded to UE) with the aim of changing the alarm snooze functionality.
I wanted to remove the 2nd option (turn off alarm) in the menu that is
shown when the alarm goes off, as several times in a sleepy daze I've
accidentally selected this option, then subsequently overslept! By
removing this option from the menu, all I can do with the big scroll
wheel is just snooze the alarm again, and I must make a concious effort
to press the main power button to fully turn the alarm off. I was able
to achieve this quite easily by modifying the file
/usr/share/jive/applets/AlarmSnooze/AlarmSnoozeApplet.lua, and
commenting out this block of code, saving the changes, then restarting
the Radio:
--menu:addItem({
-- text = self:string("ALARM_SNOOZE_TURN_OFF_ALARM"),
-- sound = "WINDOWHIDE",
-- callback = function()
-- self:_alarmOff(true)
-- end,
-- })
What I would really like to do, (but have so far been unsuccessful), is
to re-add a second menu item to the alarm menu that tells the alarm to
snooze, but for a value longer than the default. So my server defined
snooze time is 5 minutes, but during holidays and weekends, it would be
nice to have 'Snooze for 15/30 minutes' options as well, for when I
fancy a bit of a lie in!
I've tried added a second menu item, copying the code of the first, but
then pointing it at a renamed copy of the 'alarmSnoozeMinutes()'
function.
menu:addItem({
text = self:string("Give me half an hour!"),
sound = "WINDOWHIDE",
callback = function()
*self:_alarmSnoozeThirtyMinutes()*
end,
})
I then copied the existing alarmSnoozeMinutes()' function defined
elsewhere in the same file, and renamed it to
alarmSnoozeThirtyMinutes(). I then changed the line highlighted in bold
below to a fixed value of 1800 seconds, rather than it's previous value
of 'self.localPlayer:getAlarmSnoozeSeconds()'.
function _alarmSnoozeThirtyMinutes(self)
log:warn('_alarmSnooze: alarmInProgress is ', self.alarmInProgress, ' :
connection status is ', self.localPlayer:isConnected())
self:_stopTimer()
log:warn('_alarmSnooze: fallback alarm snoozing for ',
alarmSnoozeSeconds,' + 20 seconds')
*local alarmSnoozeSeconds = 1800*
local fallbackAlarmMsecs = alarmSnoozeSeconds * 1000 + 20000
self.debugRTCTime = fallbackAlarmMsecs
self:_startTimer(fallbackAlarmMsecs)
self:_wolTimerRestart(alarmSnoozeSeconds * 1000)
if self.alarmInProgress == 'rtc' then
log:warn('_alarmSnooze: stopping fallback alarm audio')
-- stop playback
self:_silenceFallbackAlarm()
else
self.alarmInProgress = 'snooze'
end
if self.localPlayer:isConnected() then
log:warn('_alarmSnooze: sending snooze command to connected
server for
connected player ', self.localPlayer)
self.localPlayer:snooze()
end
self:_stopDecodeStatePoller()
self.alarmWindow:playSound("WINDOWHIDE")
self:_hideAlarmWindow()
end
However, this appears to make absolutely no difference when I select
this option from the alarm menu - the snooze time remains at the 5
minute server setting.
Has anyone got experience with modifying the alarms on the Squeezebox
Radio that can offer any advice? The approach I'm taking might be
fundamentally flawed, but I kind of feel like it -should- work, and it
would be a cool little feature if it did!
