Here's the bug as reported by Maurice A: - alarm set on week days (mon-fri) at 7am - boom connected to squeeze network - on saturday morning the network was down and the alarm went on at 7am...
Not a firmware bug, SC may not be disabling the firmware alarm in this case, Max? Do you know when the network went down?
Maurice says that he believes SqueezeNetwork was down on Saturday Aug 16 at 7am PDT.
The alarm code certainly should clear the rtc alarm if there isn't one in the next 24 hours. The code to do it is certainly there and looks right. What happens when the rtc alarm is set and the player is then not connected to the server in the 24 hour period after that alarm? Does the fw just repeat the alarm? I guess this would be the right behaviour, but it could cause unwanted alarms. Better than not getting wanted alarms though.
Felix notes the firmware does not know about alarms that only occur on some days. So if the network is down for an extended period, the alarm will go off every day at the same time. A factory reset will clear the alarm if there is an urgent need.
