Sleep Timer Function (non-idle)

Chambers · 2003-10-01, 17:20

hi guys,
would it be possible to add a sleep function to this project? basically i usually set my tv to turn off after 30 mins at night while i go to sleep. it would be nice if there was a way to have my xbox turn off after say, 30,45,60 mins. maybe assign a button to this action and each time it's pressed it cycles through the increments? does this sound like anything people would be interested in? that way you could fall asleep to music or a movie.

xbmp has this already. i hope that xbmc will too, and that it just isn't coded yet.

xbmp will shut down after x minutes of inactivity, you pick the x, so watch a movie, tv shuts off, xbox finished playing a movies and x minutes later it shuts itself off.

right, isn't that more in the xml code though? it'd be nice to have it in the program itself. so it wouldn't be dependant on if xbmc was idle or not. just make it in combination of a few button. light left thumbstick button plus x would increment it? it just seems more user friendly that way and an excellent bonus. not sure if that's really what the devs are striving for.

every modern audio system (expect very expensive ones :-) )
had a timer.
to start playing music and then turn into relaxing and maybe sleeping and then the system turns off after couple of half hours.

why dont u implement this?

is there a way to get a shutdown timer like in xbmp?
i think it is an very useful feature...

camora · 2003-12-04, 01:01

but a shutdown timer would be possible?
sorry, to ask again.
i always use xbmp/xbmc when i go to bed. so i can hear some goodnight music.

but without a timer the xbox remains turned on the whole night...

how about an autoplay functionality? this could be used for backgroundmusic or startup sound (kinda)...

just more ideas *

yooo!!!

yesterday i watched a movie but sadly i falled in sleep so my xbox was on for the whole night kinda bad *

... so maybe you guys can fix a sleep timer function in the next xbmc that would be great!!! let me here what you other guys think of this..
