foxint > Hi brother, how's it going? Bro, slow down, you doing too many things at the same time (or one after the other), if something screws up you won't know what screwed up. Too many changes to back track it. I would suggest, and I know this is a shiiter, start from scratch. Re-install, start with a new slate.... yes you will have to configure everything again, that's how we learn and become proficient. Repeat, repeat. I can't count how many times I've done a re-install. Change one thing at a time. And when four people are telling you to do this, try that, etc, things will become jumbled up to the point that you won't know what your doing and they won't know what their doing. Slow down, start again, ask one question on the forum, implement that procedure, then do it all again. Sorry bro, best advice, best practice.

Thanks....

foxint > Only #5? Oh my... Frank (hondagx35) re-installs every time someone asks him a question! I responded on the "Play Music NOT in Queue" thread too, hope it helps bro.

Hi Mate
OK...Thank you... perhaps is it a little more than 5 times...ha-ha.
I read you comment in the other section... so it cannot do what I want...I am OK with that.
Currently trying to fix my Dad's accounts...he is too old to do it but he refuses to let go....
I will reinstall in about 30mins..
Thank you
rastus
You will note that the Pi has a red LED and a green LED. When the red LED is on it means there is power going to the Pi, when the green LED is on it means the software on the micro SD card is being used (ie, Rune is running). To shut down the Pi, stop the music being played, go through the steps to shut down Rune and wait... until the green LED STOPS blinking, then you turn off the switch at the wall socket (even though the red LED on the Pi is still alight), then pull the plug (or leave the plug in the socket, but make sure you turn off the switch regardless).
I have found that Microsoft Internet Explorer doesn't seem to 'update' when I make changes to Rune (I need to press Ctrl + F5 to refresh the browser). Mozilla Firefox seems to work OK with Rune, I've not tried Google Chrome with Rune yet.
Edit-1: Your father, a good ol' auzzie bushman then huh. Good on 'im!
Edit-2: The PiFi Digi+ should also have a green LED too, when you shutdown Rune you may notice that the PiFi Digi+ green LED will turn off... even though the Pi's red LED is still alight.

Hi Guys.....
Using Firefox and Chrome...seems to work.
Re-installed and changed the date 3 times...rebooted each time. I decided to leave the default timezone and put in the Berlin time....I checked the date and it took...then did the update.....and re-booted.....each time I did this the date went back to Feb 22...
NTP server is...pool.ntp.org
Another re-boot.....and the date is......
Feb 22 15:40.....ahhhhhhh

removing your timezone
rm /etc/localtime
new timezone settings
sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata
I highly suggest you use a bit of google search and read a bit about
No offence

That's two commands, like....
rm /etc/localtime <then press the enter key>
Then....
sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata <then press the enter key>
Note: Do not type this "<then press the enter key>", just do it... press the enter key.

Guys
Thank you.....
Not sure if it worked???
[root@runeaudio ~]# rm /etc/localtime
[root@runeaudio ~]# sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata
sudo: dpkg-reconfigure: command not found
[root@runeaudio ~]#
I then rebooted....
[root@runeaudio ~]# date
Mon Feb 22 14:40:55 UTC 2016
[root@runeaudio ~]#
Sorry I am totally lost....seems like it does not like the correct date/time
Any suggestions??

Try an Auzzie time server (use one only)...
server 0.au.pool.ntp.org
server 1.au.pool.ntp.org
server 2.au.pool.ntp.org
server 3.au.pool.ntp.org
Do you know where to insert this in Rune?
Is the Raspberry Pi connected to the internet right now? I'm asking is the Pi connected to the internet, I am not asking are you, I can see your posting here so you must be connected.
Edit: I thought Rune didn't run sudo, I thought Rune ran pacman.... someone confirm please?

Doesn't Rune (Arch linux) use pacman? Maybe I'm thinking of OpenElec.... mmmm.

yeah, sorry my bad
I am not use to Arch, actually I am off again as I went back to Volumio with custom image posted yesterday

Sir
I do not understand.
I do not know where to insert these.
I cannot confirm if the Pi is on the internet. It is connected to my home network and anyone on the network is/can be connected to the internet... at the moment I have (finally...yes I am an idiot) got to listen to my flac files on the HDD that is attached wiht USB.
So I am sorry, I probally did not answer the question???

rastus
"So I am sorry, I probally did not answer the question???"
No, you answered my question.... you have a network problem your end. The Pi cannot connect to the time server (to update the time) because that requires a working network connection to the internet. You cannot play FLAC music via your network (but you can play FLAC files via the USB drive), thus your Pi is not connecting to your network, therefore it is also not connecting to the internet. Figure it out bro.
Edit: You have learned one very important lesson.... if you can't play music via the network, then TEST other ways. Process of elimination.... rule out what it is not, my dear Watson.
Edit: PS: Going to watch a movie with my loved one.

Sir,
But I have been listening to cdnx and BBC World Service most of the afternoon on the PI...currently switched to cdnx - an internnet radio station...
So I am completely confused...

If you cannot ping a server using its IP address, for example, if this fails:
ping pool.ntp.org
but you can ping an IP address:
ping 203.56.27.253
then there is something wrong with the name server entry in Rune Audio.
Perhaps you can compare the DNS setting on the computer you are using to the DNS setting on the Pi.
