OK, thanks, and good luck. It sure sounds like SaverSwitcher was your
problem. :-( I'm shocked that it was crashing that often! I've got 3
Squeezeboxes over here, all mostly "off" and all using SaverSwitcher
for When Playing and When Off. I only have one active Off saver, though
-- SuperDateTime at 60 seconds. I'm decreasing that to 10 seconds to see
if that makes a difference.

What screensavers were you alternating between, and what were the
timings? I could imagine that a screensaver that required some time to
initialize (retrieve information from the internet, etc.) and did not
cache the information or had a memory leak, might cause trouble with
low duration values.

One way to get loads of debugging info from SaverSwitcher is to edit
its Plugin.pm file, remove the "#" comment characters from the lines


Code:
--------------------
    
  #$log->setTypes('all');
  #$log->setLevel(100);
  
--------------------


and restart Slimserver. You'll then get a lot of SaverSwitcher
information in the Slimserver log, more than you would get with the
d_plugins debugging.
