It works for short breaks ,not long ones . So it does not work 100% Not really *i use LMS all the time* as my mini server runs all the time , mysquezzebox.com migth drop lost players faster . There is in the player settings on the local server *"Power On Resume" set to "Pause at power off / resume at power on"* And ,important ! there is probably a similar setting on mysqueezebox.com as many settings including player settings is per server , mysqueezebox.com is considered just another server in some aspects . You can actually have different player settings on different servers and you can have more than one server at home . There is however a server setting in LMS to sync settings with mysqueezebox.com this caries over some of the settings . Or more likely as it sits on my local network and both server and player have fixed ip in a very small (home) network both router and server migth have all things in thier arp cache etc . Relatively little is happening localy . VS "the internet" between your player and mysb.com , a lot of things is going on ! note for example mysqueezebox.com ip dynamically changing every 5 seconds you can view that on the player . So a dead player is probably more likely to drop of from "the internet" and be lost in the wind . However there could be a missing setting in another way . -Do you need to change to mysqueezebox.com to use services or radio- ? if so you migth have forgotten to input your mysqueezebox.com account password into the local server . If the local server is running you never need to change to use mysqueezebox.com everything is avaible trough the server and the mysqueezebox.com content/menu's is "proxied " by the local server . Also "loosing network conection" you say ? do you have a somewhat flaky network at home , that problem migth be something you actually can do something about ? As the product is not going to be more tolerant to not so perfect network conditions any time soon . What screensaver where you using ? I use the black screen for stopped and off , i remember it to work with the clock too but it was a while since used that ( i preserve screen life by not using it while not playing music, if no that pesky backligth would come on now and then ) Next trail . I'll pulled the power from one of my players over night lets see whats the screensaver is in the morning . Oops I'm sloppy : facts I use a Touch connected via WiFi to test with ,actually my most flaky one where is see most screensaver bugs , I contribute that to wifi . I recently moved and it's a really thick wall and a bunch of closets in-between so I have not wired that one yet. I usualy run ethernet to all players except my Radio as that one moves around with me on battery Our bugzilla is probably filled with similar bugs , but as you see it's hard to produce conclusive symptoms not two people get exactly the same issue . "Sceensaver is flaky" is not much to go on for our friendly single developer , so he probably go for some of thousands of other bugs that have better facts logs and are easier to reproduce ( and more urgent if this is your only problem your lucky ) Thats why I'm experimenting a bit . Btw I do think the one about that it should start playing from power on was debated long time ago and was not considered for some reason I cant remember why ?
