Andy, you seemed to suggest that it would be possible to have a separate brightness setting just for the downtime messages, when you said earlier that You can change the brightness of the downtime message I take it that this will not actually be a separate functionality.
Anyway, it seems that various displays, while logged onto SqueezeNetwork, each have their own brightness level (which is itself kind of peculiar). For example, if I set the brightness while a song title is displayed, then another brightness level in the main menu, these 2, different, brightness levels are retained for the respective displays. So, while connected to the SqueezeNetwork, what should be displayed on the SqueezeBox screen while I set the brightness to 0, so that it will not display a downtime message from SqueezeNetwork while in standby? But I also noticed that when the display is set to 0 before going into standby, that it is reset to 1 when turned back on. So Id have to remember to reset it to 0 before turning off, every time. Ironically, it might be easier (to avoid having system messages displayed while in standby) if I just logged of SqueezeNetwork every night by choosing the Connect to SlimServer from the main menu (at which point it would be logged onto neither server). And why is it that, as you said on 1/17, there will always be a need for that kind of downtime message. Does Slim Devices realize that a SqueezeBox that is in standby is, from the standpoint of the user and for all practical purposes, turned off, and that the user doesnt need to be made aware of the status of the SqueezeNetwork? I think thats intrusive. If I walk by the turned off device during the day, and its displaying a message, quite frankly thats spooky. Its distracting! Whats the point? It is more than sufficient that I become aware of server problems when I turn the device on. I would expect the logic to be: if the SqueezeBox is in standby, dont display any messages (brightness = 0). Why is this concept so hard to grasp? How difficult would this be to implement? -- NauticusLX ------------------------------------------------------------------------ NauticusLX's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8981 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31652 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
