In that case the Boom's real time clock displays uppercase AM/PM, and also lights up its front panel buttons. These SB signals actually saved me a lot of running up and down the stairs when I was sorting out problems getting my SC server to automatically suspend to SN using the SrvrPowerCtrl plugin. Now it serves as an easy confirmation that the plugin and the server are doing what they are supposed to do. I see what you're saying, but it isn't something that I like! I pretty much know when my SB3/Boom are connected to SN. I use SvrPowerControl (great plugin) to switch off SC at night, and switch over my SB3 and Boom to SN. Then at 6.30 the server restarts and reconnects those devices. Works very well. peterw;415674 Wrote: I always figured that was a feature. It's an easy way for the observant user to determine whether the Squeezebox is on SN or a local server. If you're using Mac OS or Linux/Unix, you can edit a .pm file (Slim/Utils/DateTime.pm) to add a lowercase time format. On Windows you'd need to switch to ActiveState's interpreter or rebuild, I think. Thanks for that tip - I did wonder if it was as simple as that. Of course, it will get over written on SC upgrade, hence it would be good to have the addition in the distribution. toby10;415700 Wrote: and I think the large AM/PM makes reading the time at a glance more difficult.

I find the upper case AM/PM does make it harder to read. Sounds odd, but its tree. I guess it is a matter of personal taste. That is one of the strengths of SC/SB3/Boom etc - you can configure it to be just right for you. MeSue;415703 Wrote: The case for upper and lower case has already been explained in this thread.

If you provide a patch for additional time format strings, it's more likely to get changed. -- andyg andyg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3292 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=62439 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

I have too many digital clocks in the house as it is (three in the kitchen alone, built into appliances) and not one even has an option for AM/PM. My philosophy: If I see 9:00 displayed on a clock and I do not know if it is AM or PM then I have a lot more serious issues than being late for an appointment. :) -- toby10 toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=62439 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Can I see time in lower case?
Hmm, wasn't sure how to phrase the question for the thread...but this is what I mean: I am now the proud owner of a Boom. Its used a bedside clock/radio, and it is very effective. Pretty much all the time it displays the time (using the Date/Time screensaver). I like the 12hr format, so it shows AM and PM...what I would like is for AM and PM to appear in lower case. Just seems more friendly somehow :-) Is that possible? I can't see a way of setting that through SC. -- chris.mason chris.mason's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3323 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=62439 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Can I see time in lower case?
You might have found if not a bug, then an inconsistency between SqueezeCenter and SqueezeNetwork, Chris. On -SqueezeNetwork-, the time displays as 6:50 pm - i.e. lower case pm, but SC doesn't seem to do that, insisting on upper case. -- mooblie Martin at *_'HeadSpin_HD' (http://www.headspin.plus.com)_* now on -*Blu-ray-* mooblie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15378 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=62439 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
