Information Screen on Touch

[PasTim]

I'm trying to get the Information Screen plugin to work on my Touch, LMS 7.7.2. Apologies if my queries are answered elsewhere but I couldn't find anything here or on the wiki. I seem to have two problems.

Firstly, the files always seem to get saved to the playlist directory, even though I changed the directory on the 'Various Settings' page.

Secondly, having installed the Information Screen applet on the Touch and restarted it & LMS, with a 30 second screen saver delay and selecting 'Information Screen' as the screen saver (is that the right thing to do?) the screen shows no text at all. If I create several screens I can find no way to select the one I want. What am I missing?

The next day when I started everything up, I did get a 3 line display on the Touch, but when I changed track the information remained the same. I can't see how to switch between different screens I might want to try, not how to get it to show current track data.

What do you like to accomplish ?

I'm asking because I'm no longer actively maintaining the Information Screen applet/plugin combination because Custom Clock offers more or less the same functionality plus a lot more.

For Information Screen to work it's important to install both:
- The Information Screen plugin, in SBS/LMS Settings/Plugins in SBS/LMS web interface
- The Information Screen applet on the Touch, in Settings/Advanced/Applet Installer menu on the Touch.

I haven't tried it since 7.5 myself so it wouldn't surprise me if some of the changes Logitech have done in 7.6 or 7.7 has caused it to stop working.

No worries - I just wanted to vary the content of the display on the Touch. I'll try the Custom Clock.

If you like completely different layouts of the screens you like to switch between, you probably want to create multiple Custom Clock styles and use the Screen Switcher plugin to switch between them.

If you like the same layouts but want to vary which textual information that's shown, you want to experiment with creating multiple items and setting the visibilitytime, visibilityorder, visibilitygroup parameters. You will find more information on the Custom Clock documentation page on the wiki: http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.ph...m_Clock_applet

Thanks. I just wanted a slightly different text display than standard (more like that which I have on the web page). When I get my brain round the flexibility of the custom clock helper I'll sort something out.
