I have a situation in which my Radio display never times out, so the
screensaver never appears.

Specifics:
The Radio was sold as a UE Smart Radio, but shortly after acquisition it
was UPgraded to Squeezebox Radio firmware. Still with firmware
7.7.3-r16676.

I rarely use the Radio as a player. It's my bedside clock, and I use it
to control another player in the bedroom, an Airplay speaker connected
to LMS through the Airplay bridge, which is usually synchronized with
other players using the Group Players plugin.

All three screensavers are set to "Digital Clock (Black)" and the delay
is ten seconds.

When the Airplay speaker starts playing, the Radio displays its Now
Playing screen, but it never times out and returns to the screensaver
until the Airplay speaker stops playing, unless I press the Home button
on the Radio or a remote.

Any ideas how I might correct this behavior or automate the button
press? I thought about using the cli "button" command, but after some
failed experimentation I searched this forum and found that the command
is largely incompatible with the Radio.

I have a script running on the Pi running LMS that can detect when music
starts playing, and it is communicating with the LMS cli via telnet, so
if there is a command that would serve this purpose, it should be a
simple matter to implement it. It should also be easy enough to ssh into
the Radio, if there is a local command that would do the job.

Suggestions will be appreciated!



Usually running latest beta LMS nightly on Raspberry Pi OS with virtual
players (Squeezelite and Airplay bridge). Occasionally using SB Radio,
Boom or Classic.
