Visualiser bug in SlimServer trunk

[max.spicer]

I asked about this a while ago but got no response. Since I switched to the SlimServer trunk around two to three weeks ago, I've had a slight bug when exiting the Analog VU screensaver. If the screensaver is active and I do something to make it inactive, like press a key on the remote, the display text appears on the screen, but for about a second the screensaver continues to draw. This looks a mess, and means that you can't read the text until the screensaver has gone away. Does anyone else experience this, or is it just me?

Max,

There are some graphics changes between 6.0 and trunk, but I can't reproduce this on trunk. Is anyone else seeing it?

Could you be specific about which screen you are switching back to? [i.e. is it a specific to a certain screen and mode setting or
the same for all modes?]
Is this for SB2 or softsqueeze?

The other night I saw a problem like this. I had the Analog VU displayed. I pressed something on the remote (can't remember exactly what I did, left-arrow or Now-Playing are the two likely buttons), and the resultant menu was displayed over the top of the last analog VU frame. Upon pressing left-arrow and right-arrow, the display was returned back to normal.

I must have had the 6.1 nightly from around 31 May.

Can't seem to reproduce this with trunk r3330... Was a visualizer enabled when on Now Playing? Or only the screensaver?

What's set for each of the screensaver modes? (playing, not playing, and powered off?)

(edit): Also, what audio format? And operating system?

To be honest, I'm confused over the screensaver settings. There are settings for the now-playing screensaver in the settings menu, and there's screensaver selection under the plugins menu - what's that one for then?

Anyway, the Analog VU screensaver displayed whilst I was playing a track.

>(edit): Also, what audio format? And operating system?
Probably mp3, but could have been FLAC.
WinXP Pro.

Does that help?

I was running R3330. In Now Playing mode, I only have the progress bar and time elapsed displayed - no visualisers. For playing, I have the Analog VU kick in after 30 seconds, for not playing I don't have a screensaver and in powered off I have the RSS ticker, but keep the brightness off generally. I am running SlimServer on Debian Sarge and only ever play FLAC files.

I'm going to be away from my SB2 until Sunday night, but will gladly provide any more details required after that.

Max, Phil,

Can you remember whether the text displayed after the screensaver was scrolling (or would have scrolled after the pause phase?)

I can see how this may cause a display without sending new visulizer info the the player for a second or so...

Please try the latest subversion [r3336] or tomorrow's nightly. There was a problem with scrolling text appearing over the top of
visualizers. I hope this is now fixed.

The text would have scrolled after the scroll pause, but wasn't durning the time that the visualiser was erroneously displayed.

I tried to recreate the problem this morning with the SlimServer_v2005-06-02 nightly, and couldn't repeat it.
