I ran into the garbled display problem today. I believe it was due to network problems. I was listening to an HTTP stream just fine in the kitchen when my wife started using the microwave, knocking out my WiFi connection. Lo and behold, I saw a scrambled display -- a mix of Analogue VU and Now Playing. When the microwave finished, the SB rebuffered the stream and things normalized. When Stopped -- I believe 1.7 may resolve that problem (1.7 recognizes when the music has stopped playing) -- but are you using "None" for the When Stopped screensaver? The "None" screensaver is a tricky thing. It's not really a screensaver, but a special case that means no screensaver makes any update to the client display. With 1.6, SaverSwitcher wouldn't notice when the music stopped, and would keep switching screensavers on the quiet client if the client's When Stopped screensaver is "None". 1.7 is a little bit better, but if When Stopped is set to None, you'll see the last When Playing saver after the music stops. I don't know how easy it would be to make the client switch to displaying the screen that was up before When Playing kicked in, I haven't had time to investigate that. -- peterw ------------------------------------------------------------------------ peterw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2107 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32230 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
