Most of my players have this in their config.ini:
[hijack]
;@MENUEXEC Set_Date_Time /rdate -s 10.0.0.2 &>/dev/null
This allows me to reset the date/time at will from the Hijack menu, using my internal server (10.0.0.2) as a time reference.
I think the same thing might also work from EXEC_ONCE, except then it would need a script that could be more clever about waiting for the network to come before issuing the command.
Cheers
Ah- interesting! Perhaps I should just learn a bit more about setting up my home PC as a time server for the empeg to query when instructed to via your Hijack menu.
Hmm... it's not automatic, but sounds simple enough.
How do other applications 'reach out and check'? I see
autohijack could (once upon a time) do something like that. I suppose most folks use jEmplode for updating Hijack these days...
Setting the empeg clock could also be done externally somehow, I guess... a batch file that talks via ftp or (dreaming now) an adjunct to (j)Emplode?
