We just changed to daylight saving time here. I was out late and needed
to set my alarm for the next day and wanted to make sure that my Radio
was going to pick up the time change so I waited til 2 am to see if the
Radio would go to daylight savings time. In the same room, I have an
atomic clock.

Since when is an ntp-client or an ntpd integrated in busybox?
I *meant* to say. that the particular device that was using
busybox/linux that was remotely similar to the squeezebox, ended up
getting an ntp client integrated into the firmware *not* that busybox
had one

If the radio and its server are not in sync then there will be problems
with alarms - the server is sending an alarm signal, but the radio keeps
is own 'fallback' time - if these shift then there will be even more
problems than now.
So I guess NTP on the radio

Actually on second thought; it's another example of why the current
alarm model is weird for smart squeezeboxes. I've followed the thread on
that a bit but haven't digested it all. But the whole idea of the server

NTP support would be great. While hourly polling to SBS should work
pretty well I don't see how it can match NTP and it's ability to
dynamically adjust polling intervals, etc to maximize accuracy while
minizing traffic.
Is it completely necessary? Probably not; but why settle for an

Hi there
I agree, NTP would be great on SB Radio. However it has been discussed
and the conclusion was that the NTP package size and the resources it
needs are not worth it.

rdate... This is not the first linux appliance with date/time issues
that uses busybox... eventually an NTP client was integrated into
busybox, and an NTPd is in the next firmware release...
You can have a lean NTP client...

What software/firmware versions are you using? I think there was a bug
in this I fixed a few weeks back (before the holiday break).
My Radio is still on 7.4.1 r7915. I'll try connecting it to my test
server running the 7.5 nightlies to see if it solves the problem for me.
The radio has rdate on it, but no cron function (is that
right?). But it's not that hard to set up a remote
command on the local server to set the time once a day
(or whenever).
Something like: ssh r...@squeezebox 'rdate -s rdate.cpanel.net'
(you have to set up authorized keys on the squeezebox
Ahh, I didn't know that the radio is synchronizing with the server. That
explains why NTP is not available on the radio.
(The reason I was looking into this in the first place was that I noted
that my radio was a few seconds ahead of my desktop PC. The reason for
this turned out to be that my
Im curious does the Squeezebox see Broadcast NTP packets and update its
clock accordingly?... I can understand why the person would want the
Squeezebox to run NTPD.. I'v seen many times when the squeezebox is off
by 2-3 minutes on the network.

Isn't it synchronized with the server clock ?
The radio sets its clock to the server clock at boot time only. From
that point on the clock will drift.
I've seen my radio off by over 5 minutes before rebooting to get the
clock to synch back up.

Ok, that's bad, I only reboot it during firmware upgrades and

The clock should be synced every hour. You shouldn't see a drift of five
minutes in this time. If you do so, you might want to check the logs, whether
there's a problem communicating.
