DM800 Time

Quicky question to my dear newnigma2 developers: is fixing the box time an issue that is too difficult to fix? is it possible to have a fix in future image update?

...this issue is in enigma2 boxes, where changing channels changes the box time; which is annoying - despite fixing the time-zone!

Thanks in advance for the hard work and efforts you are putting for us (the users).

I have no problem with time.
The time comes from satellite transponder and is reading by enigma2.
If there is any problem it seems that the transponder on wich your box is starting is sending a wrong time or a wrong offset for your timezone.

I understand where the proble is coming from my side. Can you put a fix to it? for example, allow user to fix the time and prevent the reading from the transponder.

By the way this problem occurs for me on Showtime (7w), where the clock goes 2 hours backward and never fixes again unless I go to the time zone and respecify it again.

Thanks,

I also noticed time problem with Newnigma2.
Maybe it is possible somehow to define transpoder to use for time update because some transpoders sending wrong time settings. Another option is to use network for time settings and ignore time received from satelites.

P.S. So far I like Newnigma2 better than any other image. Thanks for your amazing work!

I'm not sure how would newnigma2 team fix this problem - I know they don't do patching of the engima2 source code. The work they do is plugins....I'm wondering if a plugin can be made to fix the box time via network syc.

Thanks in advance for the hard free work Newnigma2 team does for us!

Brandnew & welcome addition to the E2 CVS code:

"add possibility to disable the dvb transponder time sync
not via gui yet... but config.misc.useTransponderTime=True/False in /etc/enigma2/settings should work
set RTC Time on e2 shutdown when not dvb transponder time update is used add debug output"

Thanks...looking forward for the next update for a fix.

Cheers,

@Raitsa,

This is just a feedback that the problem still exists with newnigma2 v2.4 (which got the latest Engima2 source).

Cheers,

Thank you newnigma2 team for fixing the time update from the channel in v2.5 ;)...your work and support is highly appreciated.

I personally think that newnigma2 image is one of the best out there....Please keep up the great work.

Thanks again.

did you try this E2-plugin: enigma2-plugin-extensions-dvbtime

Simply go to the Plugin and first check if there is a time difference between current system clock and the Transponder Time.

If yes, and the transponder time is correct you can use the set time feature to correct this.

Installation:
I can find it in the onlineinstaller of v2.5, but not on the stable feed ?

copy it to /tmp
and do manual Install with the BP
or type in telnet: ipkg install /tmp/enigma2-plugin-extensions-dvbtime*.ipk

If you want to remove DVB Time simply type intelnet: ipkg remove enigma2-plugin-extensions-dvbtime

Hi,

Although I didn't try this plug in yet, but I think it is again relaying on the transponder time. in my case, it the time keep changing when I change from a channel to the next, specially if they are on two different Satelittes.

I think the best option will be set the time from a time server from the internet with disabling the use of transponder time. May be in the Next release. :SOS:

the other possible option is to set the time using the command rdate in an init file in path /var/etc/, and to disable the use of transponder time from the menu.

rdate [options] [host...]

-p Print the retrieved dates.

-s Set the local system time from the host; must be specified by root.

Example of command: rdate -s tick.greyware.com

I didn't try this option as I am currently away from home. but it seems promising.

Best regards,
