Andy, upon consideration, these things that you claim to have done dont seem to address the problem, since they, 2 of them anyway, only provide steps to take AFTER the downtime message is already displayed. If you explained your strategies more completely, maybe that would help.
Also, there is not a single brightness state of my player, rather, there are several. So Ill ask again: 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? (I'm afraid this might not work as a solution, since it will require me to always be setting and resetting the brightness, so I can read it when I want to and be off otherwise.) Ftlight, I use similar techniques to cover lit displays on other devices in my bedroom, to be sure. I even have a piece of paper taped over the on light of my PC, but its not in a highly visible part of the bedroom, so I dont care. The various other glows are either too faint to bother me, diffused by my near-sightedness, or arent in my line of sight as with the SB, which is on a shelf at the other end of the room, a very appropriate location in other regards. Plus I know what these other lights are, and none of them are "alerting" me with a timely message, for petes sake. Maybe Im just too preoccupied with finding an elegant solution to this problem, befitting the SB itself. Maybe Ill just end up pressing the red button and draping a piece of thick cloth over the top of the SB, I just dont trust strategies that involve complex finger tappings - that defeats the ease and simplicity of the red button. It seems those of us who have the devices in our bedrooms, strategically placed in our line of sight, but who need pitch black to sleep, are at a disadvantage. At this point I have a few options, Ill just work with them. Maybe Andy can explain in detail how I can set the brightness control, that might work. -- 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
