auto update
Last modified: 2009-09-08 09:14:04 UTC
when do auto update consider to check the time on the squeezebox. Midnight in USA happen differently compare to Europe and even in one continent there are timezones. The best way to do(force) the updates when the box is standby... Otherwise allow a settings to disable updates. Thx, (V)
check the settings, you'll find there are settings for auto update of firmware and for checking software updates.
Neither in squeezecenter 7 or squeezebox 3(sw update today with brightness pressed as instructed during a radio transmission which were interrupted by this) I found such settings, please specify. E.g. Advanced settings, 3rd item Thanks,
It's hard to find there, since it's in Music Library as "Software Update". It's getting moved to "Advanced" per bug 6511. It happens once a day at a random time, and there's no UI for adjusting that time now. Is that what you are looking for? By the way, this is a SqueezeCenter feature. The hardware units don't do the checking, the server does.

I miss the adjusting part still. Looking anytime is ok, but flashing for update would be nice when radios are not aired, for example I'm not only listen to but actually watch as well the SBox. E.g. when Favourite show has an advertisement break and second favourite station also not available as option. I found the Sbox hw sw version under Sbox info settings. That were nice. Would be even nicer a release note also arrive with the updates and available via web interface to study. That would explain to me, that should I update or fixes are for example the stations I do not use listen, network problems that I do not have etc. I prefer and still hope to use my Sbox, without SServer. (Snetwork only, or not even that, but web radio only and no login to anywhere) If I open my mac, I could use itunes for web radio... Of course audio quality is better in Sbox... Specially annoying the pc-dependence when alarms ignored as no connection to SServer available. (laptop got battery drain during the night) And some people like me are not happy to have such a hot and flamable batteries as apple provide keep on during their sleep... I have a smoke detector, but still better not to wake up for that one...
I'm going to mark this as fixed. Please feel free to open new bugs with specific issues/requests. Thanks!
