Thanks for the debugging text. It looks to me like odd behavior by
Slimserver itself. I would expect Slimserver to keep track of what
screensaver is displaying, and, when the player mode changes such that
the screensaver should exit or when the user changes the screensaver
preference so that Slimserver should switch from one saver to another,
Slimserver should call the "leave" function of the current saver before
switching modes or calling the new screensaver's "set" routine.
But it looks like Slimserver is maintaining a list of all the
screensavers that were started when your player was off, in order.
Instead of tracking a single variable
$leaveCoderefForCurrentSaver{$client}, Slimserver appears to be pushing
"leave" coderefs into an array/list. And when your player mode changes
from off to on, Slimserver appears to be calling the "leave" function
*not* just for the current screensaver, but for every screensaver in
that list, in order. If the list is just an alternation of RSS and
WeatherTime for dozens or hundreds of iterations, then Slimserver seems
to be tied up running "leave" functions hundreds of times. This is
something I've never noticed, but I have a single saver listed for off
mode and only occasionally use the SaverSwitcher button control to
manually switch to another, so I'd never have such a large array of
"leave" routines when turning a player on.
What version/release of Slimserver are you using?
When the player is turned off and switching between savers, do you see
"RSS: Left screensaver mode" messages about the same time that the
display changes from RSS to WeatherTime?
