Bugzilla – Bug 16149
Please honor timeout setting for backup alarm
Last modified: 2010-09-13 11:27:20 UTC
I have the following (easily reproduced) problem with my SB Radio (7.5.1-r8697): The backup alarm does not time out after the set time-out interval. I am running a SBS that is up 24/7 (using MacOS X 10.6.3 on a Intel MacMini). I have set a repeating alarm that uses a internet radio stream as alarm sound. If the internet connection is off (as it often is as I usually turn off the ADSL modem at night) the backup-alarm goes off (as far as I remembered this started with 7.5). This is not really a problem as long as I am there to turn it off, but it is a BIG problem when I have to leave earlier and forget to disable the alarm as it will play until I come back and turn it off (even if that is days later). Wouldn't it be possible to synchronize the SBS alarm timeout value at times when the server is still trusted (as this is afaik already done for snooze-times)?

So, the alarm timeout does seem to work for me. You are saying it does not work for the backup alarm (probably because the on-device backup alarm function does not currently store the timeout?
As written in the original comment, the timeout is not honored for backup-alarms. Just reproduce a backup alarm (by configuring an internetstream and then disconnect the internat) and the backup-alarm will run for days ! Not nice when one is on holiday and forgot to turn of the alarm. Yes - its because the timeout is neither synced to the Radio nor is there some default-timeout at all for backup alarms.

This bug has now been fixed in a released version of the Squeezeplay firmware (SB Touch, SB Radio, and SB Controller). If you are still seeing this bug, please make certain you are running firmware 9009 or higher, and re-open it. Thanks!
