Alarm has never worked, been set m-f for a few weeks. Logs are consistent: [10-07-16 06:47:26.9331] Slim::Utils::Alarm::sound (510) Alarm triggered for Squeezebox Boom [10-07-16 06:47:26.9339] Slim::Utils::Alarm::sound (521) Alarm is 206 seconds early/late - ignoring [10-07-16 06:47:26.9349] Slim::Utils::Alarm::_startStopTimeCheck (1881) 0 scheduled alarm(s) [10-07-16 06:47:26.9355] Slim::Utils::Alarm::_startStopTimeCheck (1890) Stopping time checker task [10-07-16 06:47:26.9364] Slim::Utils::Alarm::scheduleNext (1387) Asked to schedule next alarm for Squeezebox Boom [10-07-16 06:47:26.9373] Slim::Utils::Alarm::findNextTime (457) Potential next time found: 6:44:0 19/7/2010 [10-07-16 06:47:26.9380] Slim::Utils::Alarm::scheduleNext (1420) Next alarm is at 6:44:0 19/7/2010 [10-07-16 06:47:26.9386] Slim::Utils::Alarm::scheduleNext (1431) Scheduling alarm [10-07-16 06:47:26.9393] Slim::Utils::Alarm::_startStopTimeCheck (1881) 1 scheduled alarm(s) [10-07-16 06:47:26.9400] Slim::Utils::Alarm::_startStopTimeCheck (1885) Starting time checker task [10-07-16 06:47:26.9408] Slim::Utils::Alarm::setRTCAlarm (1465) Asked to set rtc alarm for Squeezebox Boom [10-07-16 06:47:26.9416] Slim::Utils::Alarm::setRTCAlarm (1504) Clearing RTC alarm
I have the same problem. For few weeks now the timer gets fired around 3 minutes later than my wake up time and I always get something like: [10-07-28 06:44:41.4211] Slim::Utils::Alarm::sound (521) Alarm is 221 seconds early/late - ignoring Everyday different, but always > 65 seconds. I run the server on Synology Disk Station DS 401. My disk was set to hibernate after 20 minutes of utilization. I switched the hibernation off for today to see if tomorrow the result will be better. The server version I use is "Version: 7.6.0 - r31079". But it happened on older 7.6.0s as well. I will update the comment after testing the hibernation off.
When I set the hibernation to OFF the result is still the same. Alarm is triggered 3 minutes too late and is ignored. I've seen in the code that you ignore every alarm earlier than 10 second and later than 60 second. Usually in reality when somebody forget to wake me up and try to wake me up later not only she wakes me anyway, but use more force. I think you should ignore only alarm which comes one hour late or something or at least give the "snooze" period before ignoring it. I don't mind to be woken up 3 minutes later, but not at all is a problem for me. Thanks.
