Personally, I'm chronically late for nearly every appointment. Getting a 5 minute early shove out the door would be a boon to me. So, perhaps this is a 'feature' rather than a 'bug'. ;-)
I don't have a SBRadio, so I can't really test this. I do have a hardware beta SBTouch, however, so I'll try to replicate this on that. SrvrPowerCtrl only reads alarm info...it doesn't try to set or otherwise manipulate it. So I'm reasonably sure that SrvrPowerCtrl isn't 'causing' this early alarm. A couple of ideas: Is it possible that your server's clock is about 5 minutes behind the time as reported on MySqueezebox.com? The radio (I believe) will always use the backup alarm on mysb.com if the local server doesn't service the alarm on time. Also, is it possible that you have a 6:55 alarm set for the radio on mysb.com? Or maybe this is just a plain old bug in SBS's alarm code....a alarm gets triggered on the SBRadio as soon as the server comes out of standby. What happens if you set the wake-up time to 10 minutes before the alarm time? Again, I'd think that the SBTouch would likely be susceptible to the same bug, if it exists, so my testing ought to reveal this. In the mean time, may I suggest that you go to SBS->Settings->Advanced->Logging, check 'Save logging settings for use at next application restart' and set the '(player.alarmclock) - Player Alarm Clock Logging' to 'Debug' and then reboot the server. You ought to then see alarm related statements show up in the server.log...and maybe they will shed some light on this situation. Please let us know what you figure out on this. I'll try to test this on my SBTouch sometime within a week's time. -- gharris999 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ gharris999's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=115 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48521 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
