problem with selecting image viewer screen saver without Image source

Fw 8649. Selecting the Image viewer as the off state scree nsaver when there is no SD or USB with images installed. When the unit is turned off it presents the Loading… screen with the image viewer lounge chair image until the user touches the screen. Touching the screen at this point appears to return you to the home menu (but the may actually be off). When the screen is touched there is a delay approximately 5 sec. before the touch pad becomes responsive to additional input from all but the power *1. After the 5 sec wait press internet radio wait approximately 5 sec. the unit will then return to the Loading… with lounge chair image and then after an addition 3 sec. switch to an error message “no images found. Please make sure that images are located in the correct path and in a supported format”. 1* alternatively if you press power directly after returning from the Loading… screen, the unit returns to normal power on behavior. It seems that the no images found error message should occur when you have turned the unit off, or perhaps there should be a message to setup your image viewer when you try to select the image viewer as a screen saver. This may affect other used of the image viewer as screen saver as well
Subsequently after having loaded a SD card with images and set up the image viewer one time. Then without the SD card in place, the error message is received after the Loading… screen. Apparently the first reported behavior is only on a unit that is in a first use state. So this will rarely be encountered.
I was wondering whether we should change the ImageViewer's default source to http (which will pull some images from the internet). This would then be available in almost all cases. Users who then actively select SD Card as their source probably know they'll have to insert a media with some pictures. Even though this would be an easy change (http is already the default source on Radio) I'm not sure this will make it for 7.5.0 though. Let's have Chris' judgement.
Created attachment 6640 [details] use http as the default image source for all players
Andy to host a few images on MySB instead of on herger.net

Fw 8672 The default image viewer works well and if the Ethernet connection is lost there is an appropriate error message.
