LMS Version 7.7.3 -- (not selectable in field above)

I found out an error in sub vfdUpdate inside ../Slim/Display/Lib/TextVFD.pm

There was an multiple access to an undefined object and because of this there were mutiple log entrys in /var/log/squeezeboxserver/server.log (about 3 log entrys per second!!!)

So I figured out that variable $client inside the sub is sometimes undefined. So checking against this solved the problem. 

My sub looks now like ...vvv... and averrything is working fine. :-)

sub vfdUpdate {
        my $client = shift;
        my $line1  = shift;
        my $line2  = shift;

        my %customUsed;
        my %newCustom;
        my $cur = -1;
        my $pos;

        my $displaywidth = 10;

        if (defined $client) {
                if ( defined $client->display ) {
                        $displaywidth = $client->display->displayWidth;
                }
        }
        my $spaces = ' ' x $displaywidth;

        # convert to the VFD char set
        my $lang;
        if (defined $client) {
                $lang = $client->vfdmodel;
        }
        if (!$lang) {
                $lang = 'katakana';
        } else {
                $lang =~ s/[^-]*-(.*)/$1/;
        }

        main::DEBUGLOG && $log->debug("vfdUpdate $lang\nline1: $line1\nline2: $line2\n");

        my $brightness;
        if ( defined $client ) {
                $brightness = $client->brightness();
        } else {
                $brightness = 10;
        }

        if (!defined($line1)) { $line1 = $spaces };
        if (!defined($line2)) { $line2 = $spaces };

        if (defined($brightness) && ($brightness == 0)) {
                $line1 = $spaces;
                $line2 = $spaces;
        }
[... and so on ...]

I don't know how to commit my changes, but probably you know ...
