CLI Commands 'show' and 'display' do not consider parameters duration/brigthness/font/charset/centered

Player-Modell: Squeezebox Radio Firmware: 7.5.0-r8445 If I want to show a message on the display of my SB Radio via a CLI call (show or display), the Radio does not consider the parameters as describe in the online help documentation of the squeezebox server. This is valid for SBS 7.4.1 and 7.5 beta. The CLI call I trued is as follows: [root@david /]# telnet localhost 9090 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. 00:04:20:26:98:bf show duration:60 line1:Line%201 line2:Line%202 brightness:4 font:huge centered:1 Both lines of text are shown on the display of the SB Radio, but I cannot influence the duration, brightness, font, charset or text alignment (centered). The lines are showed with standard charset, normal font, current brightness of the display and for around 3 seconds, probably the default behaviour. Additionally the telnet session freezes after sending this show-command. I have to terminate the telnet by closing the window or with the kill-command. These bug also seems to be valid for the SB Duet and the SB Touch, because a friend did some tests with the same CLI-call. For the SB-Boom it seems to work.

I have the same Problem with my SQ-Radio
I can confirm the problem and hope it will be solved soon.

Player-Model: Squeezebox Radio (actually 3 of them) Firmware: 7.5.4-r9408 I can confirm that the duration parameter is ignored on cli display calls. This Bug has been around for thirteen months now and i hope it gets resolved soon since the ability to display messages on a device is an important part of integrating squeezboxes with other systems in the home. If this is not considered to be worth fixing than at least point me to the part of the firmware that does the messaging part. On a quick poke around the SVN i could not find it. thank you Martin
On Firmware: 7.6.1-r9482 the same problem
Same Problem with Squeezebox Touch. It is very annoying that this bug wasn't fixed in the last 18 month. Could not be such a big problem.
> SB Radio > Logitech Media Server Version: 7.7.0 - r33300 change the name, but don't remove this silly bug, unbelievable!
Firmware: 7.7.1-r9557 on 5 devices (controller+radios) still buggy. is it such hard to fix it?
Unfortunately no one cares about this bug! I run 7.7.1 - r33745.

Created attachment 7628 [details] pass duration parameter to SP based clients Ben - I would be happy if you could review this patch. Thanks in advance! This patch should allow the duration parameter of display/show to be transferred to the player. Please note that other parameters such as font, brightness etc. won't work. They would require _major_ changes on the player firmware. We won't go there.
The patch looks fine. Critical consideration is that duration is only returned if asked for. I read the API change in the patch as such. I agree with Michael re: the other parameters. Doing a big overhaul to provide those other parameters to squeezeplay is high risk low gain.
