The onscreen "power" button does two things: Stops anything thats playing.
Engages the "OFF" screensaver. There a settings page from which you can set the OFF screensaver to be many things, including completely screen off. There is a bug that prevents the OFF screensaver from being engaged if the Touch is not connected to any server. So if you are not connected to a network and you unplug the drive, the builtin server will shut down and now the off screensave won't show up. If you have the Touch connected to a network with an internet connection it will connect to mysqueezebox.com (an over the internet server) when the drive is unplugged, thus the power button will work. The Touch comes with a minimal brightness setting (settings->brightness->Minimal Brightness) which allows you you to set how bright the screen is when its dark in the room. You can set this very low so its just a very dim glow in a dark room. It will still get bright when you turn the room lights on (or the sun comes up and you have the curtains open) BTW TinySC stands for Tiny Squeeze Center, the original name for the builtin server that runs when you plug a USB drive in. (since then the server has been renamed Squeezebox Server, so it should probably be called TinySBS, but the original name has sort of stuck) Its called Tiny because its stripped down so it will run on the limited resources of the Touch. TinySBS starts up when you plug in the drive and quits when you unplug the drive. You should always use the Eject item from the menu before physically unplugging a drive. The server keeps the library database on the drive, if you just unplug it you can corrupt the database stored on the disk and then all kinds of strange things can happen. (it probably won't corrupt the songs themselves, just the database) John S. -- JohnSwenson ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JohnSwenson's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5974 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78360 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
