[slim] Time doesn't update with daylight savings
I run LMS on a self-made VortexBox - although I think the hardware is the same as (or very similar to) the original VortexBox appliance -- an Atom based MSI Nettop 100. The problem I'm having is that when daylight savings time happens and we gain/lose an hour, this PC clock doesn't seem to update. When the system reboots, the time shown on my Squeezeboxen is off by an hour. The only two solutions I know of are less than ideal: 1 - Log into the VB and force it to correct system time by connecting to an internet time server. This only works until the next reboot. Problematic if I were to lose power in the night... and my Radio is my alarm... 2 - Connect a monitor and keyboard to the system and change the time in the bios. The system is headless, so this is an annoying twice a year ritual. Anyone know of a more permanent fix? ajkidle's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18929 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97313 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Seems like I recall that you can do this via ssh---no need to hook up the keyboard and monitorThe following thread might help. http://vortexbox.org/threads/3168-SOLVED-reboot-system-time-problems?highlight=hwclock rgro's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34348 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97313 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

No reason except that I don't know how to do it. :-) I have to manually sync to an internet time server after every reboot, whch is what I'm trying to avoid. How do I check to see what time zone Fedora thinks my computer is in? I don't know why I wouldn't have chosen EST during installation, but maybe I skipped that step by mistake. I'll try the SSH solution - as I understand that, it's going to change the hardware clock to be the same as the systemtime. Still not the ideal solution, but it's easier to do that twice a year than it is to find a monitor and keyboard to hook up to the VB. (Funny how computers have evolved - a standalone monitor and keyboard have become a relic in my household...)

Re: [slim] iPeng now your audiophile App-Squeezebox for iPhone and iPad
Hi Pippin, I have a Squeezebox Touch, iPeng for iPad, iPhone AND the playback feature add-on. MANY THANKS INDEED! But I'm curious; is iPeng capable of bit-perfect audio output through a digital dock such as the Arcam drDock? (ie: does not do any additional resampling/reprocessing and outputs' unaltered 16/44.1 data to the DAC). I know the Squeezebox Touch DOES output bit-perfect.

[slim] Server - Guest Configuratin (with Linux based: MPD, Icecast, LMS, or other)
Greetings --I just picked up a Squeezebox Radio and am fairly happy in what I intended to use it for (see mpd configuration below). With my currrent configuration I am experiencing issues with 5-7sec. latency from the music source (server) and SB (guest). I've tried various tuning on the Icecast stream but nothing seems to help. After reading a number of complex articles on the latency issue I am 1) considering a different topology 2) working on implementing something called p4sync. Anyhow, my desired setup is music stored on Linux server, LMS 7.7.2 installed and functional (other mpd configuration described below). I can spin off VM instances from this system of just about any variety if that helps. Resources on this system are quite abundant. The server currently plays music to an amp via optical connection and amazing BW speakers. We love this setup and can control/DJ it remotely with the MPD setup. So in other words, it plays to the local sound card. I'm wondering if there's a hack for LMS that will allow multiple outs like this: a) to the local system and b) to the SB device. And if so is there any known latency issues with this? MPD (Music Player Daemon) Setup So for nearly a decade my system has been setup this way. MPD references a 1Tb disk. It's controlled by various clients (mpm via Firefox, mpod via iphone, another Android client, etc.). I recently added a streaming output to an Icecast server running on the same system in hopes that I could point the SB at it and... viola! But of course, no, although it starts playing straight away the IC stream is about 5-7sec. behind. I've read a bunch of stuff about this issue and it doesn't seem like anyone has come up with a good solution. I'm currently exchanging email with the MPD developers but also found this which offers some hope (not easy to get it working): snarfed dot org slash synchronizing_mp3_playback (workaround for link restriction :-/) So anyway, if you have any advice to offer with regards to setup that works for you, suggestions on something to implement with what I already have, or... whatever, I'd be very grateful.

Re: [slim] [ANNOUNCE] Orange Squeeze 1.0 for Android Released
Hi just tried the new version, still the same problem, that Orange does not restart wifi, if the smartphone was been idle for some time. It is a Samsung galaxy I9100 with Android 4.0.4. what happens is that the wifi symbol disapears from top ribbon on the Android - you know the place where you can se the battery status, 3g status etc. However, when I pull down the screen from the top, the wifi icon is still green. If I press the icon (top stop the wifi) and press again to enable it - the wifi icon re-appear next to the battery indicator and Orange can find the wifi. So it seems like Samsung put the wifi into sleep, when left unused for a long time, and Orange is not able to re-enable the wifi.

Yep, sorry I hadn't had time to look at this for this preview release. I'll take a look at everything relating to this next week. I will say that if the wifi icon is not 100% enabled (i.e. not in the top bar) then there may be a bug in the phone operating system rather than Orange Squeeze. It would be interesting to see the logs when this occurs, so with new new preview release, enable verbose logging and then when you run into the problem, use an app like CatLog to send the results to me. Incidentally, when this happens, if you open up a web browser *without restarting the Wifi*, are you able to browse properly? db122's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4076 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=92330 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

I may be misunderstanding your problem. Sonos has done it with Sonos hardware players only as far as i can tell. I also get perfect sync with multiple squeezebox hardware players using LMS.

Re: [slim] Server - Guest Configuratin (with Linux based: MPD, Icecast, LMS, or other)
If all the devices are Squeezebox emulators and the controlling server is LMS then I suspect you will get reasonably good sync. You won't get sync with mpd or other non squeezebox clients though. Suggest you try squeezeplay or squeezelite on linux with alsa outputs to get best sync for a software client.
