Bugzilla – Bug 9256
Music restarts after alarm cancelled
Last modified: 2011-01-14 00:51:26 UTC
I'm cancelling my alarms by pressing the power button. Boom goes back to the power off state with the Date and Time screensaver. However about 3 minutes later it comes back on again without any interaction from myself. I press the power off button, it goes back to the power off state with the Date and Time screensaver and doesn't come on again. Many mornings it will do this with all 3 alarms. Which debug flags should I set to capture what's happening? I'm currently on: SqueezeCenter Version: 7.2 - 22834 @ Fri Aug 22 01:08:03 PDT 2008 - Debian - EN - utf8 Perl Version: 5.8.8 x86_64-linux-gnu-thread-multi MySQL Version: 5.0.51a-3ubuntu5.1 Platform Architecture: x86_64-linux but it's been happening for weeks.
Max: Any idea what's going on here? QA: Can you reproduce?
Any chance this is related to the issues brought up in bug 9221 with using Pause? That bug was originally raised because alarms were repeating. - What is the snooze length? - What is the alarm timeout? - Are any of the affected players in a sync group?
Snooze length 9 minutes (default, never touched it) Alarm timeout 60 minutes (also default, never touched it) No players synched.
Steven: You looking at this to reproduce?
Yes, I am looking at it now.
I have not been able to reproduce. I tried with Ubuntu, Win XP and Mac OS X 10.5.4. Mark, you mention that three alarms are set. What time are the alarms set for?
Mark: Are these players Synced?
Alan suspects this may be related to whether the playlist is set to repeat.
player.alarmclock and player.source
(In reply to comment #8) > Alan suspects this may be related to whether the playlist is set to repeat. May I ask: Is Repeat used by the alarm system in some way? I've been noticing that since I began using alarms I'm finding Repeat set on some of my players even though I never use the function manually.
(In reply to comment #7) > Mark: Are these players Synced? In comment #3 he said they were not.
(In reply to comment #10) > May I ask: Is Repeat used by the alarm system in some way? I've been noticing > that since I began using alarms I'm finding Repeat set on some of my players > even though I never use the function manually. The alarm doesn't do anything that would directly affect repeat.
I was mistaken with my suggestion that repeat might be relevant. The issue can only occur if repeat is off in any case.
(In reply to comment #13) > The issue can only occur if repeat is off in any case. How would you know that if nobody knows yet what causes the problem? The player is OFF when this happens, so what difference would the Repeat setting make?
You are right. Can't really say until we have a reproducible test case.
I'll turn on player.alarmclock and player.source debugging. This issue didn't happen this morning?
Forgive me for stating the obvious, but could you please also confirm that you've got all 3rd-party plugins disabled?
I have only one 3rd party plugin, IRBlaster. It's obviously not active for Boom (doesn't appear in the player settings menu) but I'll disable it for now.
Steven: Alarms are set for 6:00 AM, 6:20 AM and 7:45 AM. Most of last week, playback restarted exactly 4 minutes after the power button was pressed to deactivate each alarm.
This hasn't happened in a while now, but I'm not sure if changes were made to resolve it so please keep it open and I'll keep logging.
This seems difficult to reproduce. Please continue to add comments if you see this behavior.
I'll continue to monitor, but I haven't seen it in a long time now.
Hello, I have exactly the same problem with my squeesbox boom. But only if it is connected to www.mysqueezebox.com. I installed squeece center 7.51 (Windows) and there I was not able to add a alarm clock. Whether in webinterface nor in the squeecebox boom I was able to open the 'Weckton' (Alert sound?) menu. On the server console output I saw an error message. Also the usage of my squeezebox is different with the local server than with mysqueezebox.com. So I think I'm not able to reproduce the error with the local server. However, I don't want to use a local server. But I don't no how to discover the problem if my squeezebox boom is connected to www.mysqueezebox.com. Could someone give my advice how to discover the problem? The problem occurs at every alert. So it is easy to reproduce (but only if connected to www.mysqueezebox.com).
