There are definitely some bugs with beta17. I've been running it since I
posted it, and I've seen a couple problems:
1) For when off, I only have SuperDateTime as a timed/automatic
saver. A couple of times I've had the display get stuck, like the clock
has stopped. Fixing it has required turning
Yeah it seems to be ok now. My bad!

No, not your bad. Mine. :-) beta17 fixes at least one instance of SS
failing to restore settings, FWIW. But I'm glad it seems to be working
again, and I'm grateful for your help debugging that mode stack
problem.

Peter - I have installed beta16 and it seems to be working much better.
No noticeable delay at all! Thanks a million!!
Let me know when you release a proper version with this fix etc and I
will be sure to upgrade.
I'll be sure to post in this forum when I do. If
I noticed last night that it was no longer switching between plugins. I
have it configured to switch between the RSS Reader and the Weather
plugins but it was just stuck on the RSS Reader. Pressing buttons on
the remote to manually switch didn't work either.

Here is the log using your latest beta15 code. I also turned on the

log from the weather screensaver which was outputting the icon in

Looks to me like there is some sort of loop in there

OK, that's great. Very helpful. A few things are happening in the
server.
1) each time the screensaver changes, slimserver treats it as a mode
change, and calls the old saver/mode's leave function
2) each time the screensaver changes, slimserver pushes the new
saver's mode onto the player's
OK, you might try beta16. I've only tested it lightly (mostly for When
Off and When Playing savers) but it's got some code that prevents
modeStack from getting so large, and all those set/leave functions from
being called additional times. I wouldn't be surprised if there are some
little bugs I

I didn't press any other button (I don't think). I just pressed Power
once to try and turn the device on, and then waited the 40s for
something to happen.

OK. I was thinking that a couple problems could cause what you're
seeing, especially since you say that
Hi there
Just a wild guess. Does your player have a 'Player Name' set? I found
that a player could react very slow if an empty player name is set.
Check 'Player Settings' - 'Basic Settings' at the top. If the 'Player
Name' is empty, put something in and save the settings.
Cheers

Here is a log dump of the problem happening, with the d_ir and d_command
debugging turned on. As you can see there is a 40s delay from when the
power button is pressed until when something else happens in the SS
screensaver.

Here is the log trace from this happening. If you would rather a text
file of the whole log let me know.
At 09:24:52 I clicked the power button to bring the SB3 out of standby.
You can see it took until 09:25:11 for it to register.
I hope this helps...

Peter, just an update, I have tried installing version 1.16 and there is
no change - i.e. the delay still exists.
I have just enabled debugging as you requested. I will post my findings
