Problem connecting screen appears spontaneously even when "off"
Last modified: 2009-10-05 14:31:59 UTC
When in a screensaver, including in the off mode, the "problem connecting" screen appeared. This should only happen in response to some user activity. If the player gets unexpectedly disconnected in the background, the device should just try to reconnect repeatedly.
Targeting for next release
Additional notes: The only place in the code where the "problem connecting" screen should be able to appear spontaneously is in SlimBrowserApplet: function notify_serverDisconnected(self, server, numUserRequests) if _server ~= server then return end iconbar:setServerError("ERROR") if numUserRequests == 0 or self.serverErrorWindow then return end self:_problemConnectingPopup(server) end Here numUserRequests must be zero. For the popup to appear without user input, there would be cases where numUserRequest is non-zero. One likely possibility is the following: 0) Server is down 1) Hit power off (send userRequest, making userRequest > 0) 2) Device goes off 3) Eventually serverDisconnected message occurs 4) Spinny happens I'm not sure how best to handle this case. Perhaps certain types of userRequests should not trigger the popup....

I believe that this is fixed with comment #3, but since it is an intermittent problem, I leave open the possibility that there are still cases where this happens....
