I had thought pcp had included ntp like many distros but perhaps time is only check at boot. Clock drift can be surprising when system is on for a long time. However IIRC there are some security concerns with ntp so maybe there as doubt. Tweaks would seem to be a way around. Suggestion for ntp to be part of PCP should be made on the PCP thread https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?109404-ANNOUNCE-piCorePlayer-4-0-0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109695 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
