Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Saver Switcher problem
There are definitely some bugs with beta17. I've been running it since I posted it, and I've seen a couple problems: 1) For "when off", I only have SuperDateTime as a timed/automatic saver. A couple of times I've had the display get stuck, like the clock has stopped. Fixing it has required turning the SB on and then back off again. 2) For "when playing", I have 3 automatic screensavers. A couple of times I've had the SB display go blank except for the small spectrum analyzer on the right hand side. To get back to the screensavers, I'd press Now Playing once and wait for the screensaver to kick in again. I suspect the problem is that SaverSwitcher is manipulating the mode stack in some cases where it should not. I just wanted to let you know I'm aware of the problem and trying to get it worked out. Please let me know if you see anything else amiss. -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

The plugin has logic that's supposed to restore the screensaver settings, but I've seen it -- especially after Slimserver restarts -- fail to revert to SaverSwitcher as the preferred screensaver.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Saver Switcher problem
OK, you might try beta16. I've only tested it lightly (mostly for When Off and When Playing savers) but it's got some code that prevents modeStack from getting so large, and all those set/leave functions from being called additional times. I wouldn't be surprised if there are some little bugs I haven't found, but I believe this should fix your power-up delays. http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/SaverSwitcher/ -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
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Saver Switcher problem
OK, that's great. Very helpful. A few things are happening in the server. 1) each time the screensaver changes, slimserver treats it as a mode change, and calls the old saver/mode's "leave" function 2) each time the screensaver changes, slimserver "pushes" the new saver's mode onto the player's "modeStack", so the modeStack grows with each change 3) when you turn the player on, slimserver starts dismantling the modeStack, and calls the "leave" function for each saver/mode as it tears down the mode stack (and the "set" functions, too) In normal behavior (without SaverSwitcher), the mode stack just wouldn't get that big. I need to look into ways to improve this -- either manipulating the modeStack in a bit of a hacked fashion, or perhaps simply using the popMode() API to trim the modeStack before changing screensavers. -- 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

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?

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.

Hi there Just a wild guess. Does your player have a 'Player Name' set? I found that a player could react very slow if an empty player name is set. Check 'Player Settings' - 'Basic Settings' at the top. If the 'Player Name' is empty, put something in and save the settings. Cheers Felix -- fcm4711 Everyone said: This cannot be done.

I was thinking that a couple problems could cause what you're seeing, especially since you say that previously you tried pressing buttons during the delay and nothing happened. One is that some code is hanging/blocking and Slimserver isn't able to do anything during the delay. Another is that Slimserver is receiving the IR codes from the Squeezebox but for some reason is not acting on them. Another way to test the theory of Slimserver code hanging/blocking would be to run a second player (Softsqueeze?), have it "off" and showing the Date and Time screensaver with seconds displayed, and see if Slimserver keeps updating the seconds on that player while your main player is stuck in the delay. -- 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

Sometime between 09:03:02.6577 and 09:03:42.5951, the setScreensaverMode() routine for SS was called. There's very, very little code that runs between the start of the setScreensaverMode() routine and that "on, but not playing music" line. Two things I've meant to follow up on, but had trouble finding time to do so, are 1) verify that the "off" saver (RSS) is executing its leaveScreensaver() routine in that gap, too (if so, it could be causing the delay), and 2) check the Slim/Logitech code to see if there's any reason the few lines of code that SS runs in that interval might cause any sort of hang. In the 09:03:02.6577 to 09:03:42.5951 gap, did you press Power again and it not be recognized until 09:03:42.6160; or did you press another button that was never recognized, or what?

No I don't have any of these things running - never heard of them to be honest. I have enabled d_command and d_ir debugging so will see what they produce.

Including power on/off. OK, that's pretty odd. After the line 2007-05-30 09:24:52.6275 SaverSwitcher: not a digit, calling original IR command SaverSwitcher hands control over to other code (usually the Slimserver default IR handling code), and shouldn't interfere. Next I'd suggest enabling d_command and d_ir debugging and see what that registers in the delay period. You don't have anything like BottleRocket, AMPSwitch, IRBlaster, etc. that does anything when a player powers on/off, do you? There definitely seem to be problems with SaverSwitcher and "when idle" mode. This is largely due to imperfect code in SaverSwitcher that tries to identify when a player is really in a screensaver mode. I don't personally use "when idle" screensavers at all, so this is a use case I often don't test. I don't think the idlesaver problems should cause the trouble you're seeing (SS should either think it's OK to act and at least get your first idle screensaver started, or, as I tend to see, think it shouldn't act, do nothing, and leave you with behavior just like choosing "None" for the when idle screensaver). -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

I don't think it's hanging. At 09:24:52.6275, SS is letting your player process the "on" button normally. At 09:25:11.3068, SS is being invoked to handle the "when idle" saver. Slimserver has to call the same function for a screensaver regardless of the off/idle/playing mode, so SS has to determine what mode it's being called to act for -- that's the "on, but not playing music" line. At 09:25:11.3070, SS is telling Slimserver not to run any pending "change screensaver" timers (from the 09:24:46.0276 entry, it looks like there should have been one set to run at 09:27:46). The 09:25:11.3071 message is really just a repeat of the 09:25:11.3070 message. So it looks like your Squeezebox is turning on, it's just that the display is dark when it comes on. What happens if you press Now Playing after trying to turn on the player?

That doesn't sound good. :-( Are you using the latest version, 1.16?
Does it seem to matter what screensaver is visible when you turn the
Squeezebox on?
You might want to enable verbose debugging for SaverSwitcher so we
could see if that offers any hints. To do that, edit
Plugins/SaverSwitcher/Plugin.pm, and look for the lines
# uncomment the next two lines to log everything:
#$log->setTypes('all');
#$log->setLevel(100);
and change them to
# uncomment the next two lines to log everything:
$log->setTypes('all');
$log->setLevel(100);
and restart Slimserver. Then look at what it prints to the log
(http://localhost:9000/log.txt) when you power on the Squeezebox.
I haven't heard of this problem before, and I can't imagine right off
what would cause this. Your Squeezebox should power on just fine (after
Slimserver calls the "leave" routine of the screensaver that is
visible), and some seconds after it powers on, SaverSwitcher should
notice that the Squeezebox is on, reset the "off" saver to
SaverSwitcher, and then do nothing. Oh, you will see SaverSwitcher
debug lines every time you press a button on the remote, though in most
cases it'll be a message like "calling original IR command".
Please let me know what you find -- post here, or send me a private
message or email.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Saver Switcher problem
Hi, I have been using the Saver Switcher plugin for a while and think it is fantastic. However I have come across an issue which took a while to track down. If I turn my SB3 off and I have the saver switcher configured in 'off' mode, when I go to turn the SB3 back on, there is a delay of between 0-45secs, depending on how long it has been turned off. I.e. if the SB3 is off for a few minutes it will startup again instantly. But if I leave it off overnight, when I go to turn it on it takes 30-40s to start up again. Anyone else noticed this?
