Hi Michael, thank you for taking the time to help me with this. I'll try and recapitulate (from memory) what I've done:
1) Initial problem with factory setting was that I kept coming back to "now playing" when scrolling left although I hadn't started out there, as described more in depth in post one. 2) As you proposed, I set the stock "now playing" screensaver to "jump back on wake". This cured the intial problem "1)" but introduced a new issue, which also appears with your scrips. (Probably as both do the same). With this setting now, the navigation by "left" "right" is just fine, but the navigation by "fwd" for playing the next song on an album is goofed up. Doing so, it does not display the next song anymore at first, until the screen saver kicks in. Equally annoying as the first problem, especially if you skip through a few songs with "fwd" and although your somewhere towards the end of the album, it still displays track one. 3) I then tried out various settings within the screensaver menu ass well as you script, and although I posted once I found the solution, I was wrong and had to delete that again. (Did I confuse you there Michael?). I also tried your script, same result. At 2:30am, I finally gave up and went to bed. 4) Now comes the interesting part, I hadn't posted here yet: This morning, I had an idea and did a complete factory reset and went back to standard "now playing" screensavers without the "jump back" option, and simply deleted the menu-point "now playing" which can be done on the next page of the player configuration. The result is almost what I wanted, but has a strange life of it's own. I can walk around the menus with "left" and "right", play songs and all that, and will always come back to the menu I had left prior, without ever seeing the "now playing" display. Just as desired. BUT After having picked an album and song, which now plays, and if I then hit "fwd" it will not display the next song analog to Problem "2)" but still the old one. THIS WILL HAPPEN UNTIL THE SCREENSAVER POPS IN FOR THE FIRST TIME. Thereafter, I can navigate around with "fwd" as desired, and it will show the correct song immediately. And I can also navigate back to whatever menu I came from with the "left" button. But if I pick another artist, and come into his album, and skip a song again with "fwd" the exact same thing happens again....it keeps displaying the old song until the screensaver pops in for the first time again. Very strange. I am pretty sure it's a bug, on the German forum people describe the "1)" and "2)" problems as well. I think nowbody has tried my "4)" approach to this yet... Which almost gets there. It cures both problems only just.
