It should. I haven't had any time to look at the Slimserver code I'm calling, but I have - verified that when a player powers on, Slimserver calls the "leave" function of the current When Off screensaver - posted a "beta15" of SaverSwitcher that adds more debugging when its "set" and "leave" functions are called -- http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/SaverSwitcher/ The sequence at power on should look something like this: 1) SS sees the IR activity and passes it along ("SaverSwitcher: not a digit, calling original IR command") 2) Slimserver calls the RSS saver's "leave" function (if you enable d_plugins debugging you should see the message "RSS: Left screensaver mode" 3) Slimserver calls the SS "set" function: Code: -------------------- 2007-06-09 13:21:25.5139 SaverSwitcher: setScreensaverMode called 2007-06-09 13:21:25.5140 SaverSwitcher: getting client id 2007-06-09 13:21:25.5142 SaverSwitcher: getting client mode 2007-06-09 13:21:25.5144 SaverSwitcher: whichSaverType getting client id 2007-06-09 13:21:25.5146 SaverSwitcher: whichSaverType checking client power 2007-06-09 13:21:25.5168 SaverSwitcher: whichSaverType checking client playmode 2007-06-09 13:21:25.5171 SaverSwitcher: 00:11:22:33:44:55 is on, but not playing music 2007-06-09 13:21:25.5173 SaverSwitcher: 00:11:22:33:44:55: called for wrong saver? (SCREENSAVER.timespeller ne SCREENSAVER.plugin_SaverSwitcher) exiting -------------------- 4) Slimserver calls the SS "leave" function Steps 3 & 4 look odd to me -- I don't understand why Slimserver would call set + leave when powering on, as it wouldn't really want to start using a screensaver right away -- except for powering off, Slimserver should wait the specified number of seconds to switch from a normal display to the When Playing or When Idle savers. But that's what I'm seeing. Please post what you see from beta15 (and at least enable d_plugins so you get some output from RSS News) -- beta15 won't solve your problem, but it might help troubleshoot. -Peter -- peterw http://www.tux.org/~peterw/ free plugins: http://www.tux.org/~peterw/#slim BlankSaver BottleRocket FuzzyTime SaverSwitcher SleepFade StatusFirst VolumeLock ------------------------------------------------------------------------ peterw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2107 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35650 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
