Description Scott 2006-11-09 16:52:33 UTC

I want to use CLI to force a brightness setting - basically, 
during movies I want to dim the Squeezebox auomatically. There
doesn't seem to be an option for this. Very annoying.

Help -> Technical Information  -> The SlimServer Command Line Interface

You'll find the following:

<playerid> playerpref <prefname> <prefvalue|?>

The "playerpref" command allows the caller to set and query the SlimServer's internal player-specific preferences values.

Examples:

    Request: "04:20:00:12:23:45 playerpref doublesize ?"
    Response: "04:20:00:12:23:45 playerpref doublesize 1"

    Request: "04:20:00:12:23:45 playerpref doublesize 0"
    Response: "04:20:00:12:23:45 playerpref doublesize 0"


have you tried "powerOnBrightness" or "powerOffBrightness" as the pref?

then follow with a display or button command to override any potential static or cached display.

Please inquire on the forums if you are having any trouble getting this to work.  I can verify that it does.
