Setting the time in XBMC

[haxtond]

Ihavea mod xbox that i use as a media center. Its a opain having to reset the time each day after turning off the mains. In the xml config file, there is a line:

I've removed teh rem tags so we can see the 1st line.

< remote timeserver used to set the xbox time/date >

<timeserver>time.windows.com</timeserver>

But I stil have to manually set the time every time i switchon from the mains. Weird!! Am, i doing something wrong?

Why are you turning it off at the mains?

[haxtond]

sorry not the mains, the bird likes to turn off the plug on the wall each nght as we have one of thoese multi plug adaptor things with 6 plug sockets on it.

So the next day, the xbox has forgotten what day it is.

As far as I know the xbox does not contain an internal battery supply for things like remembering the time. If you turn it off for any length of time you need to reset the clock every time. I frequently take mine into work and always have to reset the damn thing.

Mine boots into Evox first and gets the time off the internet using this line -

SNTP_Server = 216.244.192.3

Try changing your time.windows.com to 216.244.192.3.

I presume the Xbox has a internet connection ?
