Thanks for the kind words. I think that would require changing/patching the RSS screensaver, or making a new RSS screensaver that would use the current saver's configuration. I don't think SaverSwitcher could accomplish what you & matrixed99 want all by itself for a setup with multiple players, and trying to do that with even just one player would not be pretty. For instance, the web RSS feed configuration would be messed up whenever the client was displaying any specific RSS feed. Making a new RSS screensaver is probably the best route. Start with rssnews.pm, remove most of the strings and most of the preference handling code (let the normal RSS screensaver deal with all that), and call addSaver() multiple times to register savers "RSS Feed #1", "RSS Feed #2", etc. When this screensaver kicks in, it should be able to look at the client mode() to determine which feed to use (whether it was called for #1, #2, etc.) and only display that feed. Second best might be writing a patch for the default Slimserver RSS screensaver & convincing Slim Devices to include that with Slimserver 7.0. I expect they'd rather have a single screensaver that allowed users to use the arrow keys to change RSS feeds than have the UI list separate RSS feeds. -Peter -- 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
