3 cheers to kdf and azinck3! I would NEVER have suspected, nor inferred by what Andy said (who claims to be a Slim Devices Developer) what azinck3 just said. But then again, even in standby, the device is still really on, so could, although not obviously, respond to certain key strokes. Very interesting. Because, in the mind of most users, when the red button is pressed, its off, and off means off. But then again, this is the SqueezeBox! Leave it to an engineer (Andy) to explain something in plain English! Id like to test this - can a person test this by unplugging the lan cable from the wireless router, or does the downtime service message have to originate from the SqueezeNetwork servers?
Ive noticed that the brightness state seems to be more random than azinck3 or others described, since when it goes into the Now Playing mode the brightness sometimes changes. Azinck describes 3 brightness states: on, standby, and idle. Isnt the brightness state of the standby mode something Andy just invented? And if he didnt just invent it, then what had been its purpose? I commented earlier that I thought it peculiar that there would be more than 1 brightness state. Previous to now, what was the purpose of having multiple brightness states? And how might one take advantage of this feature, aside from the newly introduced example? These are features that are simply not described or explained in the user manual OR in the forums. What a waste if only a few people discover them by accident. And where does this new functionality reside? It would seem to be impossibe, like my microwave spontaneously acquiring an 11th power setting. What Im getting at is, it seems that kdf has explained some feature that has always existed, and that Andy isnt the accommodating wizard he seems to be. Dorothy, its time to start clicking the heels of those sparkling red shoes! -- 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
