> Is the text file to display read 'on-the-fly' or cached? It's cached. You can define the expiry time on line 8:
my $updateInterval = 15; Honestly, now that I'm looking at that code, I do not even know whether this means "15 seconds" or "refresh every 15th call" (which might be 15 seconds if the screen is refreshed once per second...). But you can play with that value to meet your needs. If you don't care about the load on your server, you can set this to 0, and the file will be read every time something has to be displayed. Play with the setting and see the effect on your server's performance. > Can I change > it without restarting SS is why I am wondering. You can change the text, yes, but you can't change the refresh rate without restart. As I see more and more interest in those few lines of code, I think I'll have to make this a real plugin, with some logic :-). -- Michael ----------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.herger.net/SlimCD - your SlimServer on a CD http://www.herger.net/slim - AlbumReview, Biography, MusicInfoSCR _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
