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.

** 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.
