Chris, there's been a probably related thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35883 As we stated earlier, there were no changes to the date/time display. _But_ there's been a change to have SlimServer always run as service (IMHO). Please make sure your regional settings really are what you want for the default user as well. See http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb457003.aspx - the last step might be necessary to change the language for services as well. -- mherger Michael - http://www.herger.net/SlimCD - your SlimServer on a CD http://www.herger.net/slim - AlbumReview, Biography, MusicInfoSCR mherger's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=50 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35662 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Time/Date Format in 6.5.2
Well, whether something was changed in the update depends on how exactly it is that you managed to do (with 6.5.1) something that people think you shouldn't have been able to! So lets try focussing on that. First, do you still have the 6.5.1 installation or have you wiped it out? If the latter, do you have a spare machine you could install it onto for test/comparison purposes? That would really help people diagnose what's going on here. Try setting it up and getting back to where you were with the time format display. This will also enable a positive confirmation that you can get the desired result without a tweak (deliberate or accidental) post installation. Then: what version, exactly, of the server software do you have? (6.5.1 is not a full answer - go to server settings and look at slimserver version). Or, of course, you could just try Jim's suggested patch of the slimserver.pref file...

Ceejay OK. in /etc/slimserver.conf there was nothing beside the screensaverTimeFormat: entry so I added |%I:%M which resolves the problem. I also noticed that the timeFormat: |%I:%M %p entry so removed the %p part. Obviously I'll have to edit this file anytime any config changes are made. Note to developers. In future updates, please give us the option to not display AM/PM symbols.

Re: [slim] Time/Date Format in 6.5.2
Yes I am certain. I've never modified the code and 6.5.1 never showed the AM/PM symbols in h:mm 12 hour format. Ok, we did do a change to localize the time/date formatting. But I would not have expected it to change anything if you're using SlimServer with the language set to EN.

There would have had to be additional format strings available, because I've always used the Date Time screensaver and have always used a 12 hour format and it's always displayed AM or PM. If you run the Perl code, it's easy to add additional format strings to the code. Another thing you can do is stop the server and edit the slimserver.pref file. Look for screensaverTimeFormat: |%I:%M %p and change it to screensaverTimeFormat: |%I:%M But... if you ever change anything on the plugins settings page you'll lose this setting. -- JJZolx Jim JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35662 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Time/Date Format in 6.5.2
I've always had my SB1 display the Date/Time screensaver when not in use, displaying the time in a large font as h:mm. Since upgrading to 6.5.2 however the time shows as h:mm PM (or AM). There's no longer an option to not display the AM/PM symbols. Even if they could be displayed in a lower case font would be better. Does anyone know of a tweak to remove the ugly AM/PM symbols and still retain the h:mm format?
