Or are these macros some kind of low/max/average for the 10-week period ?

You can configure for each screen saver how long it should be displayed. Screen Switcher is basically the same for the SqueezePlay based players as peterw's "Saver Switcher" plugin is for Classic/Boom/Transporter players. I'm probably going to make it possible to switch visibility of items on a specific screen, so you can put 3 items on top of each other and continuously switch between them. For the full screen switching, I think "Screen Switcher" is a better solution as it will also allow screen savers not based on "Custom Clock". I suppose I should probably increase so you can have 10 Custom Clock configurations, currently it's set to 5 which makes it a bit limited if you like to do things like this.

Any ideas? > When accessing the settings it gets the currently selected player and send commands to the SBS associated with it. So make sure you have selected a player with "Settings/Choose Player" menu that's connected to the SBS where you have SDT installed. I've sometimes seen it getting into a situation where no player is selected and in this case there was an error in the log. If it doesn't help to select a player, try looking in the log files, if you are using Windows they should be here: C:\Documents and Settings\YourUser\Local Settings\Temp -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.isaksson.info) (Install my plugins through Extension Downloader) (Developer of 'TrackStat, SQLPlayList, DynamicPlayList, Custom Browse, Custom Scan, Custom Skip, Multi Library, Title Switcher and Database Query plugins' (http://wiki.erland.isaksson.info/index.php/Category:SlimServer)) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77864
