[SlimDevices: Beginners] Cannot Turn Off My Squeezebox

[Zaragon]

The main thing that a lot of people forget/don't know is related to the
original company name "Slim Devices". The players have next to no
intelligence. They don't really even know how to turn themselves on.

What you really have is like three devices in the same box.
1. An infrared receiver/IP network transmitter
2. A server controlled display panel(s)
3. A server controlled music receiver/decoder

None of which talk directly to each other. Every key press is sent to a
server which works out what to do and then sends the appropriate
commands to the display and/or the music receiver. This even applies to
the "power" button.

Even the screen is dumb, everything on it is sent from the server as a
bit pattern.

The display/infrared have a small amount of autonomy which only comes
into play when there is no server connection. It is what allows you to
set up the device in the first place.

The subject of power buttons, off switches, automatic switching between
servers gets regular discussion a quick search should provide quite a
few threads of discussion.
