Why are we still having this discussion? OK I will try to restate what I've done, maybe it'll click this time.
What I've done with the downtime service is that it actually doesn't care what your 3 brightness settings are, or even if your player was on or off, it will simply use *whatever the last brightness state of your player was*. So if it was off with brightness 0, you won't see a thing. This will make most people happy, but just in case, I also added 2 completely *unrelated* things to the downtime service: the ability to use the brightness button as you'd expect, and the ability to hit the power button to blank the display to brightness 0. As others have said the most failsafe way to avoid the server being able to do anything to your player is to disconnect from said server, by holding the left arrow key for several seconds or by choosing Connect to SlimServer from the SN menu. -- andyg ------------------------------------------------------------------------ andyg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3292 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31652 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
