Hello ,

would it be possible to add/implement the screen saver „Display Off“. The difference compared to „Blank screen“ is that background light is turned off. This screensaver is available in PicorePlayer package.

Thanks and regards,
Rainer

The current version of Jivelite has, in fact, the function to switch off the backlight included in the Display Off option under Screensavers. We could validate this by disabling the autofunction and just turning off the display leaving the backlight on. When going back to the default option on Jivelite, the backlight is turned off again.
You can check if this function is active in your version of Max2Play by typing the following command in the console:

cat /opt/jivelite/jivelite/share/jive/applets/BlankScreenSaver/BlankScreenSaverApplet.lua

Thanks for your reply. And yes, you are right, other than e.g. in the picoreplayer DisplayOff Screensave really switches off the backlight.
