[GiGaBlue UHD QUAD 4K] Intermittent Power Timer - Auto Deep Standby

[birdman]

Another condition which will stop it going to Deep Standby is recent activity on the hard disk.

You have MovieOrganizer running, which will be spinning up the HD (it's also producing a lot of errors/warnings). Perhaps this is keeping the system up?

Found this at https://github.com/OpenViX/enigma2/blob/f1aebe391e0426c2a36d50d9f080840ed6849b8e/lib/python/timer.py

class TimerEntry:
StateWaiting = 0 # Waiting for the recording start time
StatePrepared = 1 # Pre recording preparation has been completed, about to start recording
StateRunning = 2 # Currently recording
StateEnded = 3 # Recording was completed successfully
StateFailed = 4 # Something went wrong

States = {
0: "Waiting",
1: "Prepared",
2: "Running",
3: "Ended",
4: "Failed"

So, if a test fails, then I'd expect to see State 4 as well as 2??

>but a test (not in standby...) fails so it (re)enters state 2, which is "timer running".

This appears to be happening when the box is in Standby.
The Gigablue has an active mini LCD showing date and time. Could this be the cause of the power timer standby test failing?

Then turn off the LED and see what happens

Yes, I've been looking in the menu to turn off LCD.

Menu/setup/user interface/Front Panel Display

Yes, found that but no settings to turn off LCD. The only items that seems remotely applicable is "Clone TV to LCD" and "Scolling delay", so turned that off. The date/time remain displayed in standby.

It was the led that I was suggesting as it has both standby and deep standby settings

Ok. I'll try that.

The tests (disk activity, box not in StandBy, recording in progress) are expected to fail.
"Something went wrong" means that something unexpected happened.

This is the code used to test for backing off:

# Check for there being any active Movie playback or IPTV channel
# or any streaming clients before going to Deep Standby.
# However, it is possible to put the box into Standby with the
# MoviePlayer still active (it will play if the box is taken out
# of Standby) - similarly for the IPTV player. This should not
# prevent a DeepStandby
# And check for existing or imminent recordings, etc..
# Also added () around the test and split them across lines
# to make it clearer what each test is.
#
                from Components.Converter.ClientsStreaming import ClientsStreaming
                if ((not Screens.Standby.inStandby and NavigationInstance.instance.getCurrentlyPlayingServiceReference() and
                    ('0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0' in NavigationInstance.instance.getCurrentlyPlayingServiceReference().toString() or
                     '4097:' in NavigationInstance.instance.getCurrentlyPlayingServiceReference().toString()
                     ) or
                     (int(ClientsStreaming("NUMBER").getText()) > 0)
                    ) or
                    (NavigationInstance.instance.RecordTimer.isRecording() or
                     abs(NavigationInstance.instance.RecordTimer.getNextRecordingTime() - time()) <= 900 or
                     abs(NavigationInstance.instance.RecordTimer.getNextZapTime() - time()) <= 900) or
                     (self.autosleepinstandbyonly == 'yes' and not Screens.Standby.inStandby) or
                     (self.autosleepinstandbyonly == 'yes' and Screens.Standby.inStandby and internalHDDNotSleeping()
                    )
                   ):
                    self.do_backoff()
                    # retry
                    return False

Nothing in there about the status of any front-screen display.
Do you have any streaming clients?

@birdman.Thanks, I was clutching at straws with sceen as it is on with time changing.
Just a satellite FBC tuner with Inverto unicable power inserter.
No IPTV but have a wifi usb dongle in the box. Mobile phone hotspot off for long periods.
Movie Organisor 2.22 set so it doesn't run in standby.
LED front panel display not enabled, but didn't change anything.

So a Factory Reset without any settings restore seems to have fixed it all.
