I've just filed bug 1745. How does a power-off screensaver work? When a player is turned off, does that event trigger the screensaver to start, or is there some sort of polling going on to find players that need screensaver data? If the former, the fix should be simple, so I'm guessing its the latter or something completely different.
Yes well it is a mixure of the two as it occurs on a one second timer, but is triggered by chaning to power off. However the complexity here is that you essentially want two states for the power off mode: blank screen and screensaver. Do you have any suggestions of how users should switch between the two?
Although we could suppress sending any data when brightness ==0, this would still cause the server to do all the work to draw the sceensaver lines. If we stop calculating the display, then changing between other brightness levels would look odd. On SB1/SBG we also need to send updates to the player ever ~ 1second otherwise it looses contact with slimserver and complains, so we couldn't suppress it completely.
