ntpMerlin ntpMerlin v3.x

[festus77]

Just noticed a minor nitpick with 3.4. When I zoom on one of the graphs it works fine, but now I have to click on Reset Zoom to bring back original zoom. In the past I have just hit the escape key to do this. I've cleared Safari browser cache, restarted browser, rebooted machine, uninstalled and reinstalled ntpMerlin, rebooted MacBook and rebooted router. Still no luck.

Just checked spdMerlin and the escape key still works there.

it changed to r instead of esc. L F and D do things too
from changelog:

• IMPROVED: Use of keyboard keys d,r,l,f for chart functions (drag zoom, reset zoom, toggle lines, toggle fill)

First time I had seen scientific notation in the table:

Nice having a Stratum 1 Chrony timeserver on the network ;-) (and over WiFi)

Which drive does it check free space on, before making the backup, which is part of the option "rs"?

I get:

Database size exceeds available space. 532.0KB is required to create backup.

Using https://www.timesynctool.com/ I go for a while to the year 2047 with ntpmerlin (time requests are mangled).

I have an AC68U with the latest Alpha2 build from Merlin.

can you try turning off hardware acceleration? there was another thread about a similar issue - tagging @sbsnb

 

[Jack Yaz]

v3.4.4 is now available
Changelog:

• FIXED: WebUI charts using Day grouping wouldn't display data between midnight and 1am
• FIXED: Database reset would incorrectly report disk space availability - thanks @CriticJay

Jack, I thought this was apart of your future time travel feature.... 2047 without having to age.
@sbsnb That time is definitely a mangled mistress.

Thank you. Where is the database backup stored? I don't need it and would like to delete it, to free up space.

if you're using jffs option, /jffs/addons/ntpmerlin.d , and USB is /opt/share/ntpmerlin.d

Hardware acceleration is really important for me. I have a 600 Mbps download connection.

yes but if the timestamps work with it off, that's another report to put to Asus (and then broadcom) of a possible bug. though i doubt they'll care since the focus is on HND which use different hardware accel
