How often does the time server sync with sage?

[AJ Bertelson]

Been running into some time problems. Most of the time my shows record about 2-3 minutes ahead of schedule where it cuts out the end of the show.

You want get 3rdparty time tools check you system clock that may be why it run slow like AtomTime or some eles like it.

I tried the atomic clock but it still gets out of sync. I need something that will sync like every half hour.

I have the SageTV option "Sync System Clock with SageTV Server" enabled and have stopped using my atomic clock program, since it simply conflicted with SageTV's time by about a second. Are you still using your atomic clock program? Doesn't it have an option regarding how often it updates? Does it's time conflict with that option in SageTV

I wonder what source SageTV uses to sync the clock... is the source the same for everyone? And like you asked, how often is it done?

I usually pad my favorites, but even then the amount a show runs into any padding (if any at all) seems to vary by day & channel.

No I don't run atomic clock anymore as it didn't keep up with the syncs either.

I do have a problem of my shows coming rite after each other but on different channels so I can't pad them.

NTP should calculate and compensate for drift. That said, serious drift is probably a sign of a hardware problem.

AJ Bertelson meant' check the diff without sage run also if your XP user you should disable the build in one.
