My MixRack is out of time.
When i connect to the MixRack with Dorector (no sirface) it shows 9:20 when its 10:40…
Is there a way to sync also the time?
Im on 1.51

this would be very nice for fixed installations, +1

Even with a surface in a fixed installation I notice that the system loses time over a few weeks.

5

Happens to me too.

6

Yes, same here. I update the clock at least every two weeks.

8

Yes, clock accuracy could be better for sure.

I couldn’t figure out how to setup the clock. I don’t have surface. Director + ipad only.

+1, our clock goes out after a while also!

Here is a solution:
The dLive searches the network for a time signal (NPT). Like me, you have the problem with the inaccurate clock if you operate the MixPad in a network without a router with Internet access. In this case, you can tell your PC to take over the task of the NPT.

In Windows, for example, change a few values in the registry and go.

I have already created a script that does the typing for you.

@echo off
echo Setting up the PC as a time server…

:: Stop the Windows Time service
net stop w32time

:: Enable NTP Server in the registry
reg add HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\TimeProviders\NtpServer /v Enabled /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
reg add HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\Config /v AnnounceFlags /t REG_DWORD /d 5 /f

:: Start the Windows Time service
net start w32time

:: Configure the service to start automatically
sc config w32time start= auto

:: Configure the firewall to allow NTP traffic
echo Configuring firewall to allow NTP traffic…
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name=“NTP Port 123” protocol=UDP dir=in localport=123 action=allow

echo Time server setup and firewall. Configuration is complete.

Are you saying that you did this, and that the dLive clock adjusts to your Windows time?

I have done significant investigation into the way the dLive handles time of day, and I have seen no evidence that supports your assertion that the dLive searches for an NTP server.

I’m Sorry. It worked once, but it doesn’t work anymore.

+1 Also 12 hr clock too?
