QNAP TS-101 slimserver not changed time from DST

[Rob Nespor Bellis]

Today is clock changing day. However whilst the time on the QNAP is correct ( it's in the right timezone and uses NTP ) the time being displayed on my slimp3 is still one hour ahead.

I have restarted the QNAP and the slimp3.

My QNAP has has all the latest updates from the progressiveav site.

Info below:

Server Name
Server Name SlimServer

Date & Time
Date October 29, 2006
Time 9:20:46 AM
Time Zone (GMT) Greenwich Mean Time : Dublin, Edinburgh, Lisbon, London

Filename Encoding
Code Page English (437)

System Information
Version 1.2.1 Build 0822

SlimServer Version: 6.5.0 - 9916

I'm obviously missing something, but what?

I would advise doing a 'rescan everything' from the web interface. Its seems to always sort things like that out.

Odd thing though.....
I checked the time on my QNAP this morning, after reading this thread, and it was correct but the time on my desktop softsqueeze was out by an hour.
A few hours later I've powered up my SB3 and the time is correct, and so is my laptop softsqueeze.

I've just rechecked the desktop softsqueeze and it now shows the correct time.

Maybe there's a delay somewhere?

This is a good advice in many situations. But not in this one. The time displayed on players is read directly from the server os and the server's internal clock. It has absolutely nothing to do with the database, music library or audio files.

It did update to the correct time later in the day ( I was out so cannot be exact, but certainly after 11:00 and before 17:00. )

So there would seem to be some sort of issue with the change to DST and back again.

My system behaved in exactly the same way - TS101 time was fine when I got up, back one hour, but both SB3s were still on summer time. I went out at 10.00, back at 12.30, and time on the SB3s were correct (GMT). I thought it was a peculiarity of my setup, but obviously not - strange.

Hi,

It may be irrelevant but I went from BST to GMT this weekend and the change had taken effect by 8:00 AM on Sunday morning.

hi - so 1 year on and I am having the same problem as above. Time changed from BST to GMT last night. My QNAP is reportng the correct time, but Squeezeboxes are have not changed - is there a way to manually interveine?

I think this issue is how /etc/TZ is setup,
my script in this thread should fix it:
http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=39051

obviously change Australia/Adelaide to your own country/city.

Also to fix "permanently" till next update, if you ssh(with say putty) into the qnap:
chroot /share/HDA_DATA/etch /bin/bash
vim /ext/bin/M050-slimserver.sh

now remove(just move the cursor around and hit del key):
if [ -f /etc/TZ ] ; then export TZ=\`cat /etc/TZ\` ; fi ;

and make it read(press i key when the cursor is where you want to add this stuff):
export TZ=Australia/Adelaide ;

hit escape and type :wq and hit enter, if you have screwed up and want to start over hit escape and type :q! and hit enter
exit putty and now you can restart the qnap and test that the time is correct. Be careful to remove and add things EXACTLY if in doubt exit with :q! to not save, if you screw this file up slimserver will not start.
