Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Power Management - Energy Saving Switch
I don't think that's the cause but either way it's still a bug :) The server is always available when the Touch powers on. I'm often home when it powers on at 4:30pm and there's no prompt to configure. It just powers up and sits quietly either showing the clock or the home screen. I've also checked the server after it's powered up to the home menu it knows about the Touch so communication has been established. If you touch the standby icon on the home screen after power on it goes straight to the clock. It might be that it has issues getting a connection but: * It's not saying anything about it on screen. * It establishes it within a few seconds so why continue to sit at the home screen? I've enabled logging and I'm going to power cycle it right now. See what happens :) -- AndrueC AndrueC's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6612 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85302 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Power Management - Energy Saving Switch
Well we've confirmed it now. Sometimes the Touch powers on showing the clock, sometimes showing the home screen. No pattern to it that we can discern. That's with the latest SBS - update a couple of weeks ago if I remember correctly. -- AndrueC AndrueC's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6612 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85302 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Power Management - Energy Saving Switch
The clock issue may be related to time. When the Touch powers up it doesn't have a reliable time (it doesn't have a battery backed up RTC), it needs to go out to a server to get the time. If it has not received the time from a server it will not display the clock (better to not display the clock than to display a completely bogus time) If you are running stand alone (USB drive and TinySBS) the clock will not display unless the Touch can connect either to a local SBS somewhere on your network or connect to mysb.com over the internet. If you don't have a local SBS then it has to connect over the internet to mysb.com to get the time. If something is preventing that connection you won't get a clock. Normally the Touch will try and connect to a local server first, if there isn't one it will try and connect to mysb.com. If there is an internet issue, or if mysb.com is not connecting (sometimes it has problems and players can't connect), no clock.

It's possible that sometimes I am getting the clock but I'm not sure. Someone else might have seen the home screen and manually turned it off thereby causing the clock to appear. No, I fully understand your posts. I was simply pointing out that I remove power, restore power, and all works, including keeping all my settings. This is not to discount your issues, just a data point to help you diagnose your problems, and to confirm that it is not a problem affecting everyone, i.e., the answer to the question of whether pulling the plug causes any problemsno, at least in my case). -- garym garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85302 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

[SlimDevices: Touch] Power Management - Energy Saving Switch
Hi, I wondered if its a problem for Touch with TinySBS and USB-HDD (external power supply) to switch it completely off with an energy saving switch. One thing I'm experiencing is, that the language setting is always gone. Are there other settings missing after power on? What I like is, that the TinySBS is autamatically on after power on, that I only have to select an album and play my music without starting the SBS and connecting the USB-HDD every day. I know that the Touch (including the HDD) doesn't need much energy but my other equipment on the same power socket does, especially my cable receiver. br, Richard -- ri.widhalm ri.widhalm's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=43541 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85302 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
