Question: On what player types does the alarm fail for you?
- Squeezebox Radio (official firmware 7.x)
- Squeezebox Radio (community firmware 8.x)
- Squeezebox Touch (official firmware 7.x)
- Squeezebox Touch (community firmware 8.x)
- SB Classic/Boom/Receiver/Transporter
- Other (eg. Raspberry Pi based)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Do note that the SB devices themselves appear to use cometd as well as
indicated by this log snippet:
Code:
--------------------
[22-11-22 17:01:44.4157] Slim::Utils::Alarm::_alarmEnd (1970) _alarmEnd
called with request: pause
[22-11-22 17:01:44.4178] Slim::Utils::Alarm::_alarmEnd (1980) stop requested
by '/338b2cbb/slim/request|649||338b2cbb|SqueezePlay-baby/8.0.1-r16907
(armv5tejl)'
--------------------
So it isn't strictly necessary to be using Material, it may also be e.g.
SB controller or (uncommon but possible) a player with a graphical
interface that is used to control a second player. Regarding the comment
about needing to remove the skin, as far as I'm aware the skin itself
doesn't do anything on its own. It merely allows a browser to subscribe
to notifications prompting it to perform certain actions like displaying
the active song name, volume level, or as turns out to be happening here
resync preferences. The whole point here is that you must have an active
client and it must have subscribed to notifications concerning the
player that is to play the alarm. If there is no active client then
there will be response and subsequently no request to resync
preferences.
BTW the "fool proof" method I described did for some reason not work out
as fool proof for me today. I had several occurrences where no cometd
client intervened with the alarm and so it does seem pretty random. I'm
quite certain that the fix posted above works, ugly as it is.
