Wow, that is fast! I installed the beta version of the patch and this is what I observed (after configuring it): 1. I use the Now Playing screensaver with the analog VU meters when playing. The screensaver delay is set at 10 seconds. The brightness control works the same as previously; it is controlled by the environment light and the patch has no effect on it. 2. I also use a screensaver when the SBT is off (SDT wheather with custom clock plugin). Trouble with that is that the patch now adjusts the minimum brightness as set in minimum brightness (screensaver) control. This is a behaviour I dont want. In the OFF state the brightness should be as set in the minimum brightness. The patch as it is now doesnt work for me because I alsways use a screensaver and it would make the display too bright when the SBT is off. It is strange though that the patch doesnt work on the now playing screensaver. Instead of acting on screensavers there should be a minimum brightness when playing setting and only use that setting when the SBT is playing. If the SBT is in a not playing state then use automatic brightness control. -- Pascal Hibon 1 x SB3, 1 x SB Boom, 1 x SB Radio and 1 x SB Touch - all wireless ReadyNAS NVX running LMS 7.7.1. w iTunes plugin iPeng on iPod Touch.
