AutoDisplay turns your display off at night and on in the morning.

The on and off times are set per player on the player interface.

Thanks to Tobias Goldstone for adapting it to 6.x

New functionality: The display is shutoff whenever it is in the
'display off' time window, as opposed to only at the rollover times.
It also does not blank when 'on' and presumably in use.

from one player to another and resumes playing on the
second player. The first player is then turned off.
(Transcoded songs will restart at the beginning.)

Just for fun!

Quick Access button selection

*** You cannot use QuickAccess and Favorites at the same time. ***

Did you ever want to see the date and time while SLIMP3 /
Squeezebox is playing music?

Date and Time

Add a custom.map file with the following entries in the IR
directory.

Go to the Advanced Player Settings in the Webinterface and
select the custom.map as your Remote Button Functions.

Just press and hold the Now Playing button to show the
date and time for a few seconds.

Thank you Kevin, for pointing that out to me.

Using the CLI of the SlimServer this script interrupts the current playing song,
plays an announcement sound and shows a message, then resuming with the
old song (transcoded music will restart).

Works with all players and SlimServer versions.

Sample output on the display

The script doesn't contain an email client. Above text is only an example.

Added parameters for user/password. (Thanks Mario Wagner)

Hint: If you are at work, turn volume down first. ;-)
