I'm glad you like it. I have not tried it yet, but you may also want to
try Erland's Title Switcher plugin for MusicInfoSCR...

I think the confusion here is the difference between displaying RSS
Feeds as a screensaver and displaying them through Home > Extras > RSS
Feeds > $someFeedName. In screensaver mode, RSS Feeds does not offer
any button control, and pressing an arrow button will do nothing (if
the Squeezebox is off) or kick you out of the screenaver mode (if the
Squeezebox is on and playing or idle). On the other hand (and I didn't
know this before investigating your note), if you get to the RSS Feeds
from Home > Extras > RSS Feeds, then you can use arrows to cycle
through headlines and text at your own pace.

I think most of the built-in screensavers behave this way. Many months
ago, I recall a conversation on the forums in which I mentioned using
buttons to cycle through information displayed by the SuperDateTime
screensaver. Some senior Logitech/Slim Devices staff (Dean?) expressed
surprise that there were such "interactive" screensavers. I would love
it if the RSS Feeds screensaver allowed arrow navigation -- as it is, I
can only stand to read one or two headlines in RSS screensaver mode
before I lose patience & give up. The RSS Feeds plugin is *much* better
in the interactive (Home > Extras) mode!

I just opened an enhancement request asking that manual control be
added to the RSS screensaver mode. Please vote for it if you agree.
Better still, if you can write Perl code, submit a patch! :-)
