I'll just have to fire it up again and look it over. You'll see a screensaver listed in each of the 9 slots for each of the three modes. I think SS starts out with the same screensaver in each slot, e.g. When Off has Date and Time in every slot, with some duration specified for #1 but the rest manual; When Playing has Now Playing in all slots, etc. You only need to concern yourself with the screensavers that have specific durations, and those you intend to use with button control. For instance, I don't use a When Idle screensaver, so on my system I don't bother with the SS slots for that. But for the others I do, even though I normally only use two timed/active savers for When Playing, and only one for When Off. -- peterw http://www.tux.org/~peterw/ free plugins: http://www.tux.org/~peterw/#slim AllQuiet BlankSaver ContextMenu FuzzyTime PlayLog PowerCenter/BottleRocket SaverSwitcher SettingsManager SleepFade StatusFirst SyncOptions VolumeLock peterw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2107 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51285 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

There were no screensavers showing up in the slots, just times. I figured that it should show a screensaver and then you would set what you want. Maybe I'm not starting right because of the differences with 7.2 I'll look at it again maybe I have another plugin that's interfering with it. It makes sense now as I thought that was the way it should work. I'm not the fastest with all this stuff but I usually figure it out in the long run.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Is there a plugin to briefly display clock while playing?
I've restarted it but no matter what I do it doesn't show any screensavers in the slots. Maybe you could run me through it from the beginning if you have time. In the main player menu what should I have set for the 3 types of screensavers? I've put your's for all 3 and that didn't work and I've picked 3 others and that didn't work either. None show up in the slots, just time choices. I have button control enabled. -- Nonreality -IF THE RULE YOU FOLLOWED BROUGHT YOU TO THIS, OF WHAT USE IS THE RULE.- HTTP://www.last.fm/user/nonreality Nonreality's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15723 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51285 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

Don't know if you've already considered and discarded this idea, but the MusicInfo screensaver can be set to do this.

This is the way I did it using the now playing button: 1. Locate the Default.map file in SqueezeCenter\server\IR directory 2. Copy it and name it something such as Custom_remote.map or similar 3. Open Custom_remote.map and locate section #playing display modes 4. Add the line now_playing.hold = datetime and save 5. In SqueezeCenter settings PlayersRemote change Remote Button Functions to Custom_remote and hit Apply 6. Restart SqueezeCenter 7. Press and hold the now playing button on the remote while the player is on. To change the apperance I guess you have to change SqueezeCenter Settings Advanced Date and Time Screensaver Settings. -- markstrom markstrom's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17691 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51285 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

Looking for a way to re-map a remote button, e.g. first press on Sleep, to cause the clock to display for a few seconds. Thanks. There is a custom keymap bind you can associate to a key to show the clock briefly. I used to have this assigned to nowplaying.hold. Unfortunately, I lost the line, and can't remember how to do it. These days, I use the MusicInfoScreensaver, configured to permanently display the clock in the top-right corner of the playerUI when the player is playing.

Not unless you want to do some programming (SS has an API that would allow what you want, but AFAIK nobody is using it that way). :-) You'd have to do something like press 2 to show DateTime, and then 1 or 0 to go back to Analog VU (assuming 1 is Analog VU with a time set, 2 is DateTime manual, and 3-9 are also manual. -- peterw http://www.tux.org/~peterw/ free plugins: http://www.tux.org/~peterw/#slim AllQuiet BlankSaver ContextMenu FuzzyTime PlayLog PowerCenter/BottleRocket SaverSwitcher SettingsManager SleepFade StatusFirst SyncOptions VolumeLock peterw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2107 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51285 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
