Are you familiar with ssh/scp so you can login and retrieve the /var/log/messages files from the Radio ? You can find scp for Windows here in the form of pscp.exe: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html The process would basically be to run it something like: 1. On the Radio, goto Settings/Advanced/Remote Login and select Enable SSH 2. On the computer in a Command Prompt window run: pscp.exe root@x.x.x.x:/var/log/messages messages (Replace x.x.x.x with the IP address of the Radio, which you can find in Settings/Advanced/Diagnostics/ and inside either the Wireless Info or Ethernet Info sub menu) 3. Enter 1234 as password when asked 4. You should get a messages file in the current directory on the PC The history in the messages file is fairly short, so it's important to do this as soon as possible after the radio has ended up in On state.

No need to apologize for the delay, Erland. You told the OP that it would be a while before you could look into it, and that was more than a month ago. In addition, I only noticed I had a problem within the past week or so when I finally finished modifying the screen savers. And last night when I decided to search the forum to see if anyone else had reported similar issues. So for me, you took care of it within 24 hours. I'm racing out the door and will test the new version on the other side of the weekend and report back.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Screen Switcher, switching screensaver for Controller/Touch/Radio
Hi Erland... I have this exact problem. I am trying to use Screen Switcher to change between two (or three or four) variations I created based on OffClockSaver SDT Weather Fahrenheit. I too have Screen Switcher set to activate when the Radio is off. And like the OP, when turned off, mine starts with one custom saver but instead of switching to the next, the display shows the Settings screen (or whatever screen was active when I turned the device off.) Then it switches back to the first saver. Each of the custom savers works fine when it alone is set to display when the unit is off. But once they're part of Screen Switcher, it doesn't switch properly. [I'm going to be out of town for a few days without much internet access, so there may be a delay before I can reply to any suggestions or questions you have.] Thanks. -- phred phred's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=52602 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70503 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Screen Switcher, switching screensaver for Controller/Touch/Radio
I'm running a Squeezebox Radio with the latest firmware update and LMS 7.7.1. I recently wanted to try the Screen Switcher applet, so I installed it along with the license manager and got a temporary license. I set up Screen Switcher with two savers for when it is in the off mode. The two I currently am trying are OffClockSaver and OffClockSaver SDT Fahrenheit. When I put it in the off mode, one of the savers will come up and display for 30 seconds. The second will briefly flash and then the radio seems to go into the stopped mode. Sometimes it will alternate between the first saver and stopped. Other times it seems to stay in the stopped mode. I've tried different Custom Clock savers and the behavior does not change. Any ideas as to why this is happening? -- Zaphod370 Zaphod370's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=52897 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70503 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Yes SDT 5.9.9 is installed. I'm using OffClockSaver SDT Fahrenheit by itself as the only off saver right now and it works fine. After screwing around with several combinations, it seems it only happens when the two clocks are Custom Clock savers. If I set, for example, Analog Clock and Dot Matrix Clock, it's fine. DotMatrix Clock and OffClockSaver SDT Fahrenheit worked fine. OffClockSaver SDT Fahrenheit and a non-SDT Custom Clock did not work. Right now it is set to OffClockSaver SDT Fahrenheit and Digital Clock (transparent) and it is switching fine. I've restarted the radio several times with no change in behavior. -- Zaphod370 Zaphod370's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=52897 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70503 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Screen Switcher, switching screensaver for Controller/Touch/Radio
Posting this to save others time if they run into this problem. It took me over an hour to get things working again, but since Screen Switcher is important to making my Touch useful every day it was a necessary effort. My Touch received an update on November 5, 2011 to 7.7.0-r9550 and Screen Saver stopped working as it always does after an update. Normally I have to unplug the device to make it reboot, and then I can tell it to reinstall Applets and it works again. Not this time. I don't recall exactly the order, since there was a lot of rebooting the Touch in the process. I had to reinstall the Applet on the Touch. I had to update Squeezebox Server on my computer. Going to Settings on the Touch for Screen Switcher told me I to do something with the License Manager App, so I installed that on the Touch. From SqueezeboxServer on the computer, also called the Logitech Media Server Control Panel, had to click Advanced Settings. That opens a browser window. Select Plugins. Installed License Manager. Select Settings for License Manager. Scroll to Screen Switcher and discover that a license fee is now required. Too bad it takes so much effort to discover this through much searching and trial and error, but glad to pay the fee. After several minutes, Refresh Licenses on the computer. Then Refresh Licenses on the Touch. Hurray, it works again and remembered my settings. -- Bernie33 Bernie33's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=38808 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70503 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

It would have helped a lot if Logitech showed a screen after updating the Touch that said something helpful about the changes and possible actions needed. It would also have helped if Logitech shoved a screen after updating Squeezebox Server about possible effects of the update and hints on how to deal with them. After finding my way back to this Forum which I haven't needed in years I followed a link to your website at http://erland.isaksson.info/. There was nothing on that page that looked like it would help. Perhaps you could add something there. Then I went to http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/User:Erland. I found Screen Switcher listed there. That link took me to http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/Screen_Switcher_applet. I think it would help to update that page to talk about the license, the free trial, and how to activate a license. When I did get ScreenSwitcher reinstalled. but before I figured out the new need to licensing the applet, ScreenSwitcher was showing me photos that aren't mine. They must be yours. Instead of those photos, it would have helped a lot if it was showing me screens that told me what to do to activate ScreenSwitcher. Hope some of those are useful suggestions. My Touch is not used often to play music. Most of the time it is off, and then it is always alternating between displaying a clock and displaying family photos, so ScreenSwitcher has become like an important piece in my home.
