I checked my empeg and "screen blanker timeout" is set to: 00:15.

I'll check tonight to see if setting it to "off" fixes the problem...

I would still like to use the screen blanker because most of the time the empeg is not playing songs, so I don't want to burn in "end of playlist" into my display.

so I have a few questions:

  1. How do I detect that hijack has blanked the screen
  2. If the screen is blanked, how do I wake up the display?
  3. curently, I send '#'<FID><newline><space><newline> e.i. "#fid\n \n" to the hijack serial insert routine. Should I break this up into two calls to serial_insert? The second call would just be <space><newline>.


Thanks,
