[VU+ Duo] Power Timer Issue

[sticky7]

Hi,

I have been able to work out most bugs i've had from the forum but this one beats me.

I have always had power timers every night to :

1 standby,
2 deep standby,
3 wake up
4 (channel update, EPG update),
5 standby.

to allow my duo to powerdown to cool and reboot to fresh every (swap file) night.

Since hades I find i can't do this as the timers get changed? (see pics)



No idea how or why this happens.

Any ideas?

In Hades I have found that you need to completely delete power timers. I have a power timer set to boot my GB Quad+ at 06.00 each morning when I run ABM and CrossEPG. I also have another power timer to do a deep standby of my receiver when 10 minutes idle in normal standby. I had to delete and set them up from scratch in Hades when I updated from Apollo.

I have set all settings from fresh in hades, no restores.

Hi,
I use power timer and they are working but I only use 2 kind of timer. 1st go to deep standby at a certain time and wake up to standby at a certain time. Overall I use 5 timer with different times and days on my Duo2.

Still struggling with Power Timers!

Still can't get Power timers to work. Time for the first one keeps getting pushed back. It always says "Recordings are in progress or coming up. . . . . . " but they aren't. Is this maybe due to timeshift recording?

I have attached logs but they mean nothing to me.

Anyone got any ideas?

I am basically trying to standby at 12.00, Deep standby at 12.15, Wake up at 6.00 (to update ABM and EPG), standby at 6.40. I try to do this every night to give the Duo a break.

I've similar issues reported here, also including logs.
All autotimers are set to create timers which should go into deep standby at the end of the recording, but they never do - "Recordings are in progress or coming up. . . . . . " but they aren't.
I've a wakeup powertimer, but have to manually switch off the ET10k twice every night (it reboots 2 minutes after the 1st shutdown), otherwise it would never get into deep standby.
I've yet to start completely from scratch , with a re-flash and no settings restore, as earlier tests suggest it might help.

Maybe the powertimer is lurking around somewhere and is still "in progress"??

My powertimer xml file is growing by 4 records a day. Is this to be expected?
