Description Ethan Shayne 2005-02-07 19:26:50 UTC

Right now when I put the Squeezebox into Standby mode, it automatically displays
a clock. Every second the clock checks back with SlimServer to get the current
time.  This leads to two problems:

1. I don't really want the clock showing when the Squeezebox is "off" anyway
2. A lot of unnecessary network traffic

What I'd like is the option to tell the Squeezebox to not display the clock when
in Standby mode, and to not continually try to update the time from the
SlimServer (also when in Standby mode).

you can set the brightness when off to 'dark'. This will leave the display off,
showing no clock

can you explain why the relatively small network traffic due to clock updates is
a problem for you?
