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.
