Date and Time not saved on Player Shut Down

[At1bob]

You can not actually set a time server you must use the one that Patriot has provided; well I am sure that if you look at the android initialization files you can probably change it there but what would be the point since the one currently in the initialization process works. It is automatically use when you click the checkbox in the Date-time settings to "automatically obtain time date from network".

I turned it on today and its now showing 2016 as the current year the time never updated after it started I waited a few minutes. My guess is that it never see's the time server. I'm wired using DHCP the ethernet config block shows my router's IP as the dns server. Is it looking for a time update possibly before my router sets its IP address? I could change to a static IP address if you think it might help but I'm not sure that would be any faster. It is a pain to reset the time everytime I turn it on. I think I'll try just leaving it on for now, any ideas.
I just re read your reply... I cannot find this option "automatically obtain time date from network". I am using the Matrix firmware I have searched all the settings and dont see it? Maybe I should get my wife to look she finds everything that I loose... LOL

Thanks again Snappy

I am using the Matrix firmware

i was never able to get a stable time statement using matrix and i eventually reverted to the stock firmware which doesn't have the timing issue you're experiencing. my only complaint now with stock is that i can't do the rapid fast forward while watching movies (i know i know... off topic!).

I guess I should have been more specific; I am currently running the stock firmware; I am not sure if such an option is available on the Matrix firmware. By the way I would not get your wife involve with the finding process because if she can not find it somehow it will be your fault and then you will be in trouble .... .

So I guess the moral to this story is that if your gonna use the matrix firmware be prepared to have time/date issues? I sure hope this is addressed in the next firmware release...
