    Hi,
    I’m using the max2plax package with the 2.8 display … everything is working fine except that I cannot turn off the display backlight when the player is pausing or off in jivelite. Is there a smart idea how I can achieve this ?

    Hi Volker,

    Just install the 2,8″ Skin in the Jivelite web interface and reboot the system. Afterwards the selection for screensaver should be blank screen and once active, will also shut off the backlight.

    perfect … it siims to work only with the precompiled jivelite, however. That was my fault. Thanks

    I´d like to raise a similar question for the 7″ RPI touch screen:
    Jivelite offers the screensaver option „Blank Screen“, but this doesn´t turn off the backlight of the touchscreen. There´s no option available for „display off“, I read about it in another thread, but it´s not available in my configuration.
    Is there something else to be done or set?

    Hi willy,

    Please create a new topic and link to this one for context, otherwise I won’t see posts in threads marked „SOLVED“ as quickly 😉

    This is the topic you are referring to.:

    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

    Please check the command line if possible. Please also reinstall Jivelite from Max2Play sources if it still does not work.
