Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Further Dim Display on 'When Off' Screensaver
Just go a Squeezebox Touch, and wanting this too. I've now achieved this by hacking the code a bit, but it's not the most elegant solution. Trying to write an applet to do this, once I find out how to properly code an applet. I you need this now, connect via SSH to your Touch, and modify the file /usr/share/jive/applets/SqueezeboxFab4/SqueezeboxFab4Applet.lua Line 139, replace getBrightness() with settings.minimalBrightness Line 229, replace self:getBrightness() with settings.brightness Restart. Now, after 10 seconds of not using the Touch, it will dim to the minimal brightness setting. When using the remote, or touch, it will set the brightness to the manual brightness setting. It only works when the brightness detection setting it set to manual. I hope a I can release a proper plug-in for this, with easy installation. -- 505 505's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=44967 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85836 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

What the OP would like is for the screen to return get brighter when the Touch's screen is being used and then to return to the lower brightness level once the screen is no longer being used regardless of the light level within the room. And I agree that this would be a very useful feature. This is bang on the money as to what I'm trying to achieve. The issue with setting the minimum brightness to minimum is that whilst you're using the squeezebox, the display then seems dull and lifeless which is not what you want whilst in use - however, while it's sitting there idle the brightness becomes more distracting then useful. -- smithkyle1992 smithkyle1992's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=44306 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85836 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Further Dim Display on 'When Off' Screensaver
Yes, configuring the display be a different brightness (or off entirely) during screensaver/idle is a feature that has existed for quite awhile and is configurable per-player. I haven't upgraded by SBS in years so I can't tell you where it is in the latest release, but it is certainly there. -- syburgh syburgh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14239 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85836 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Further Dim Display on 'When Off' Screensaver
Unlike older Squeeezeboxes, different brightness levels for the different player states isn't available on the Touch. The best you can do is set the off screensaver to 'Screen off'.
