Daz, please check out version 1.8, which I just uploaded http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/SaverSwitcher.html You can use "1" through "5" to choose any screensaver, whether there's a real duration set or the saver has "Manual" for the duration (the phrase "Disabled" doesn't make sense now). If you use the 1-5 buttons to pick a particular saver, SaverSwitcher will use that saver until the Squeezebox exits that screensaver mode**, though SaverSwitcher will still flash back to the first saver (for however many seconds the first saver is configured) when a new song starts playing. The "0" button only cycles through "active" screensavers. More details on the web page. This version also checks the client capabilities. So if you set When Playing to automatically alternate between Now Playing, SuperDateTime, and Analog VU and then play something on a Squeezebox1, SaverSwitcher is smart enough to skip the Analog VU (since the SB1 has no visualizer capability) and only use Now Playing and SuperDateTime for that player -- while still using all three on SB2/SB3/SoftSqueeze/Transporter units. -Peter ** Caveats apply: the code still doesn't always recognize when a player drops out of the screensaver. For instance, pause the music briefly and you'll see a normal menu; press play and after the screensaver delay you'll be back in the manually selected saver. -- 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
