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

Is SaverSwitcher still listed as the When Off saver? 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. I haven't tested thoroughly, but I've been using beta16 on my server here since I posted it last night, and it still seems to work OK. -- 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

Here is the log using your latest beta15 code. I also turned on the
plugin debugging. Note I removed a whole load of extra text from the
log from the weather screensaver which was outputting the icon in
'*'s.
Looks to me like there is some sort of loop in there which is
unwravelling perhaps? This would explain why the delay gets longer, the
longer I leave the unit off.
Each iteration of the loop is reinitialising the screen savers or
something, and that is introducing a delay.
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?

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
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

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

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

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.

As you can see there is a 40s delay from when the power button is pressed until when something else happens in the SS screensaver. 2007-06-01 09:02:56.3243 SaverSwitcher: c5:69:9e:47:ea:cd is playing music 2007-06-01 09:02:56.3256 SaverSwitcher: currently playing mms://ac1.streaming.net.nz/tvworks-rock URL 2007-06-01 09:02:56.3258 SaverSwitcher: c5:69:9e:47:ea:cd: lookForPlaylistChanges resetting lookForPlaylistChanges() timers 2007-06-01 09:02:59.8263 SaverSwitcher: c5:69:9e:47:ea:cd is playing music 2007-06-01 09:02:59.8276 SaverSwitcher: currently playing mms://ac1.streaming.net.nz/tvworks-rock URL 2007-06-01 09:02:59.8278 SaverSwitcher: c5:69:9e:47:ea:cd: lookForPlaylistChanges resetting lookForPlaylistChanges() timers 2007-06-01 09:03:02.6547 2007-06-01 09:03:02.6550 IR: 768940bf - code: power 2007-06-01 09:03:02.6551 SaverSwitcher: client 00:04:20:06:db:5f mode OFF.rssnews ircode 768940bf codename power multiMode offsaver 2007-06-01 09:03:02.6552 SaverSwitcher: not a digit, calling original IR command 2007-06-01 09:03:02.6554 IR: 768940bf - code: power 2007-06-01 09:03:02.6555 IR: 768940bf 334907.003 1180645382.65554 2007-06-01 09:03:02.6559 IR: found button power for 768940bf 2007-06-01 09:03:02.6560 IR: found function power_toggle for button power in mode common from map Default.map 2007-06-01 09:03:02.6561 IR: irCode = [power_toggle] timer = [334907.003] timediff = [88374.663] last = [power_toggle] 2007-06-01 09:03:02.6562 irCode: power_toggle, 00:04:20:06:db:5f 2007-06-01 09:03:02.6566 2007-06-01 09:03:02.6569 IR: irCode not defined: power_toggle 2007-06-01 09:03:02.6570 IR: trying to execute button: [power_toggle] 2007-06-01 09:03:02.6574 IR: executing button: power_toggle 2007-06-01 09:03:02.6577 2007-06-01 09:03:42.5951 SaverSwitcher: 00:04:20:06:db:5f is on, but not playing music 2007-06-01 09:03:42.5953 SaverSwitcher: killing SaverSwitcher timer for 00:04:20:06:db:5f since now called as a idlesaver 2007-06-01 09:03:42.5954 SaverSwitcher: killing SaverSwitcher timer for 00:04:20:06:db:5f since now called as a idlesaver 2007-06-01 09:03:42.5955 SaverSwitcher: 00:04:20:06:db:5f: setScreensaverMode() killing changeSaver() timers 2007-06-01 09:03:42.5960 SaverSwitcher: adding 00:04:20:06:db:5f to list of players using SaverSwitcher for offsaver 2007-06-01 09:03:42.5964 SaverSwitcher: Resetting offsaver for 00:04:20:06:db:5f to SaverSwitcher 2007-06-01 09:03:42.5967 SaverSwitcher: 00:04:20:06:db:5f: setScreensaverMode() killing lookForPlaylistChanges() timers 2007-06-01 09:03:42.5982 SaverSwitcher: considering saver 0 for idlesaver 2007-06-01 09:03:42.5995 SaverSwitcher: adding 00:04:20:06:db:5f to list of players using SaverSwitcher for idlesaver 2007-06-01 09:03:42.5998 SaverSwitcher: 00:04:20:06:db:5f: setting idlesaver saver to SCREENSAVER.rssnews, changing in 180 seconds 2007-06-01 09:03:42.5999 SaverSwitcher: 00:04:20:06:db:5f: delegateSaver() killing changeSaver() timers 2007-06-01 09:03:42.6002 SaverSwitcher: 00:04:20:06:db:5f: delegateSaver() resetting changeSaver() timers 2007-06-01 09:03:42.6151 Request: Command [00:04:20:06:db:5f-power] (Done) 2007-06-01 09:03:42.6153Param: [_newvalue] = [1] 2007-06-01 09:03:42.6155 Request: Command [00:04:20:06:db:5f-button] (Done) 2007-06-01 09:03:42.6156Param: [_buttoncode] = [power_toggle] 2007-06-01 09:03:42.6157Param: [_time] = [334907.003] 2007-06-01 09:03:42.6158Param: [_orFunction] = [1] 2007-06-01 09:03:42.6160 Request: Command [00:04:20:06:db:5f-ir] (Done) 2007-06-01 09:03:42.6161Param: [_ircode] = [768940bf] 2007-06-01 09:03:42.6162Param: [_time] = [334907.003] 2007-06-01 09:03:42.6174 IR: found button power for 768940bf 2007-06-01 09:03:42.6177 IR: irCode not defined: power.single 2007-06-01 09:03:42.6181 2007-06-01 09:03:42.6183 IR: 768940bf - code: power 2007-06-01 09:03:42.6185 SaverSwitcher: client 00:04:20:06:db:5f mode INPUT.List ircode 768940bf codename power multiMode idlesaver 2007-06-01 09:03:42.6186 SaverSwitcher: not a digit, calling original IR command 2007-06-01 09:03:42.6188 IR: 768940bf - code: power 2007-06-01 09:03:42.6189 IR: 768940bf 334907.111 1180645422.61894 2007-06-01 09:03:42.6190 IR: found button power for 768940bf 2007-06-01 09:03:42.6192 IR: irCode not defined: power.repeat 2007-06-01 09:03:42.6196 IR: irCode = [] timer = [334907.111] timediff = [0.10799949243] last = [power_toggle] 2007-06-01 09:03:42.6197 Request: Command [00:04:20:06:db:5f-ir] (Done) 2007-06-01 09:03:42.6198Param: [_ircode] = [768940bf] 2007-06-01 09:03:42.6199Param: [_time] = [334907.111] 2007-06-01 09:03:42.6205 SaverSwitcher: c5:69:9e:47:ea:cd is playing music 2007-06-01 09:03:42.6230 SaverSwitcher: currently playing mms://ac1.streaming.net.nz/tvworks-rock URL 2007-06-01 09:03:42.6231 SaverSwitcher: c5:69:9e:47:ea:cd:

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Saver Switcher problem
Peter, Here is the log trace from this happening. If you would rather a text file of the whole log let me know. At 09:24:52 I clicked the power button to bring the SB3 out of standby. You can see it took until 09:25:11 for it to register.

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? The Brightness button? -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
When I try to turn on the SB3 and there is this 20sec delay, when it finally does turn on, it shows the SqueezeBox splash screen - saying 'Free your music' etc. Therefore it isn't actually starting up until after this delay. I have tried pressing all sorts of buttons during this delay (previously) and they have no effect. Including power on/off. -- SumnerBoy SumnerBoy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8924 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

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
