Cheers for this Ceejay. It looks like it may be possible after all. I'll
have a play tonight.

Have you tried using Jump Back On Wake? So if the MusicInfoScr

Not sure I can help with request 2, though there might be something
worth exploring by configuring the Now Playing and Screensaver configs
differently.

Yup, I agree with all of this. And configuration for anything to do with
the display should all be performed from one screen or section (and
possibly sub-screens), including the screensavers. MusicInfo is
definitely the place to start.
I'd like to see a facility to stop any display segment from
I like it just the way it is by using the MusicInfoSCR plugin. It allows
me to display all the info I like to see at a distance ( Title, Artist,
Album, Progress, Playtime and File Extension).
I know this could be done in one screen BUT at 10 feet or greater
distances it becomes unreadable. With

I love the plugin too. It's just that overall display configuration is
very hard unless you work with computers! It needs simplifying, whilst
retaining the same configurability.

I also like the way that MusicInfoScr works, and agree with MC that the
overall structure isn't right. I've been exercising a few brain cells
over this and so far have come up with some requirements and a few
thoughts towards a spec.
First, the requirements:

OK, so how about helping the nice developers by framing a coherent
enhancement request? I'm thinking specifically relating to the second
display...
As a starter, I think some of the confusion arises because of the way
the second display is supported. If I understand correctly, the core
The way I look at it the diaplay is split into four segments (double
line display is two). Excepting the Browse function I'd like to choose
what appears in each display segment and what happens in a few moments
in each display (if I should want anything to change, which I don't).

their advantage yet. There's twice as much real estate now, more VFD
