In the absence of any other alternative, the brute force method works, even if it is not pretty. Every time the player controlled by the Radio starts, the Radio reboots. After a few minutes, the clock screensaver reappears on the Radio. I'm as happy as I'm going to be, and I disabled the cron

I installed the Community firmware on the Radio. I didn't expect it to solve my odd and obscure problem, so I was not disappointed when it didn't. I hoped there might be a chance that my issue had been part of some larger and more significant issue, which had been fixed; but no. I do not expect

I hoped someone would have some ideas about my Radio's reluctant screensaver, but it is such an obscure issue that I'm not surprised that there's been no response. Maybe no one else has experienced this? I am still trying to think of a way to automate a press of the Home button on the Radio

I forgot to mention that the screensaver appears when it's supposed to, if the Radio is set to control itself. It's only when it's controlling another player that the Now Playing display never times out. It's consistent with the Airplay speaker in the bedroom. It has happened when controlling

I have a situation in which my Radio display never times out, so the screensaver never appears. Specifics: The Radio was sold as a UE Smart Radio, but shortly after acquisition it was UPgraded to Squeezebox Radio firmware. Still with firmware 7.7.3-r16676. I rarely use the Radio as a player.
