If I am to understand the OP has a touch, which is connected to LMS on a Pi, which has a NAS as a mounted file serve.
At my cabin where there are frequent power failures I have a touch connected to a picoreplayer (LMS Only), which is a USB HDD as a file serve (similar). I have seen the "black screen saver" that is fixed by repowering the touch and/or rebooting LMS. When this occurs for me it's because there has been a power failure and on restore, the pcP reboots faster than my isp modem and my router, and because of this the "time" info is not there when the pcP is looking for it. Some of the time it appears that LMS behaves normally, but, in addition to the time ss not working, time based plugins like radio paradise flac do not work properly or at all. Sometimes on restore the touch initially gets redirected to mysb.com because LMS on the pcp is not functioning at all. In this case I just reboot the pcP. I should also note that when this first started happening, I had the LMS data and cache on the HDD and the power failure caused the HDD mount to get lost, so the system was bricked until I set it back up. I since have moved the LMS data to a 3rd partition that this allows a easier recovery (leaving it in the normal partion of the SD worked too). I have a few threads on this in the forum, it baffled me for a long time. I have not seen the "Radio" selection missing, the only thing I can say in this regard is you can "hide" menu items, and perhaps this disappearance, along with no clock saver are symptom of LMS limping like I have observed. Please don't roll your eyes, this actually happens, honest. In fact I can come home, look at the touch and say "there has been another power failure" The blinking microwave clock confirms it :) I guess my suggestion would be to reboot LMS (when the NAS is ready) and see if this resolves time and missing "radio". Looking forward, where is the LMS data being stored, on the SD or the NAS? If it's the NAS, perhaps (guessing) it's a powerup timing issue similar to mine, maybe the NAS is hibernating and not "ready" when the pi is looking for it and it tries to start LMS but can't find the data? (Im guessing here). I think I have read that there is a "spinup" setting on pcP that can help in this regard.
