Time issue with RPI3 and LE 8.0.2

Bohemi · July 22, 2017 at 7:20 PM

Hi, I am having problems since updated to 8.0.2 with the time settings.

I already tried this:

-Check regional settings in Kodi interface settings menu.

-Added different time servers in the librelec addon.

-Enabled the option to wait for a connection before starting Kodi.

-Adding a autostart script: nano /storage/.config/autostart.sh

#!/bin/sh

(sleep 30; \

/usr/sbin/ntpdate pool.ntp.org; \

)&

When I reboot the system, the time is incorrect.

When I just open one of the time server fields in de libreelec addon and close it again, the time is corrected on the spot. Even when it was an empty field.

I have the PI on all the time and have it rebooted automatically every 24 hours.

I would think this means the time server is working but just not on the startup of LE. Is there a way to trigger the time server after startup? Or is there an other way to fix this?

Thanks for any help!

Try setting the 'Wait for network' option for at least 30 seconds. Perhaps you have an extra slow network.

Hi Klojum, I tried that, even put it at 60 seconds but no effect. The strange thing is that as soon as Kodi is starting, my sync with Emby and DVBLink are working right away no matter which amount of seconds I set to wait. SO it looks like the connection is there. I will try to run a bug report later today. Maybe that helps.

I don't see ntpdate binary in LibreELEC. You could use ntpd like

Code

ntpd -d -n -q -p pool.ntp.org

How can I use this? Do i have to add it somewhere in a settings file?

Hi, changed my autostart file like this:

1: nano /storage/.config/autostart.sh

2: Deleted old wrong line

3: Added this: ntpd -d -n -q -p pool.ntp.org

After reboot it looks to work so far. Thanks!
