Further issues to LCDChar screen

@rern
Following the changes you made yesterday the LCDChar screen is now working EXCEPT:

If the Idle Sleep option is enabled the display freezes, as does the on-screen config dialogue box. The only way to get it working again is to delete the $dirsystem/lcdchar.json file and then reconfigure the LCDChar screen when a new lcdchar.json file is recreated.

When a web radio is playing which has no metadata a pattern of 3 x 3 dots is shown on the screen but the elapsed time and rAudio logo are shown. Conversely when such a station is stopped then the station name and URL are displayed. If no metadata is available then it would make sense to show the station/URL all the time if possible. For stations with metadata (ie Radio Paradise) and albums then the metadata is shown correctly.

Please try the UPDATE.

Thanks again for fixing this issue. The Idle Sleep option does indeed seem to work with the latest UPDATE branch.

However, radio stations with no metadata still shows a 3 x 3 matrix of dots when the radio is playing but reverts to the station information (what there is of it) when stopped.

Thanks.

I am not sure what has happened with the latest UPDATE branch (as at 08:20 BST 28/07/26) but the web radio stations with no metadata now just show the 3 x 3 dot matrix regardless of whether playing or stopped (previously stopped showed the basic station information). Stations with metadata show correctly.
