rather than going through the hassle of tracking every screensaver for every mode it might be valid for, the server just lists them all. The idea being that the users would be smart enough no know that the analog VU doesn't really do much when off (unless they want it that way) > Second, I'm not sure what the "none" value is meant to do here.

Whatever mod ethe player is in, the brightness just dims to the 'idlebrightness' setting (unless server pref has selected manual brightness only). When off, the player defaults to date and time display, so that's what you see. In the case of off, this really isn't any different than using date and time. The Date and Time screensaver is there mainly to server as an example of writing a simple screensaver. I guess it probably isn't needed for that, since there are lots more examples now, but maybe some peope like to have date and time while the player is on. -kdf _______________________________________________ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta
