[ViX_Misc] Question to powertimer ("autoshutdown-funcionality")

[Rob van der Does]

Don't worry: it is still on the (endless) list

 

[snoopy2013]

Thanks for info - then I hold my hope still alive ...

Please try what the attached version does for you.
Unzip to /usr/lib/enigma2/python: View attachment PowerTimer.zip
Unzip to /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Components: View attachment Harddisk.zip
and restart Enigma.

This version checks if a remote box is using the box tuner or HDD. It only works for the deep-auto in standby Powertimer.

I realize that this isn't exactly what you asked, but this seems to be applying to 'normal' situations.

You got the source code of Powertimer, Rob? I found a bug in it, where it moves the start time if the box is active when it initiates. I thought I might have a look.

Those are the object code versions. Was looking for source code

 

[Rob van der Does]

Euuuhhhh? What do you mean?

Edit: sorry: I uploaded the wrong set

 

[pembo]

Can't you just grab it from the github source?
I assume it's this one: https://github.com/OpenViX

 

[Rob van der Does]

Nope, as these are test-files that haven't been committed yet.

Thank`s I will test this version as soon as possible (however, may be that I get to test until next weekend) ...

Is there any documentation on how Power Timers are meant to work when the box is "in use".

I've had on-screen prompts about a timer wanting to put the box into standby when viewing a recording, which doesn't make sense - I'm playing back a recording so why would I want it to go into standby?

I have a strange problem on a Wednesday only when if the box wakes up to record emmerdale at the end power timer returns the box to deep standby whilst coronation street is recording, it doesn't do it on a Monday or Friday?

Rob, I had a problem last weekend where my power timer "wake up to standby", activated at 06:00 with a shutdown to deep standby of 06:07 ( this is when I run ABM and CrossEPG each day) correctly "backed off" because I had a recording of the Formula 1 in progress, but then set a new wakeup time when the recording finished instead of using the original. On Saturday 4th it advanced the wakeup time to 07:41 next day. On Sunday 5th it advanced the wakeup time to 09:46 next day. I had to correct the wakeup time manually. See the attached screen grabs.

Also - there is a typo on online 104

retry in %d minuets

As I said above: "This version checks if a remote box is using the box tuner or HDD. It only works for the deep-auto in standby Powertimer."
"in use' by an other box is done by checking if the tuner is being used.

Rob, I tried that powertimer (autodeepstandby) but it failed on my Quad Plus. Here's a clipping of the crashlog:

Probably irrelevant, but it does remind me that 30 years ago I had a programming problem (turned out to be an OS bug) because Wednesday is the longest day of the week - in English (in German it's Thursday)

Can you post a screenshot of your AutoTimers screen?

Hi,

at weekend I have viewed on my "main box" a recording of the hdd connected to my "second box" and the "second box" was actually shut down after stopping the viewing. Seems to be working so far.

However, for me the implemantation of an optional selectable "time window" as well as an "IP check" would be a slightly better and more comfortable solution. Then it could for example be ensured, that the hdd connected to the "second box" would be always available for playing recordings on "main box" (and not only prevent the shutdown from "second box" when just start looking a recording on "main box").

Nevertheless, once again thank you for your efforts.

Maybe the points I have mentioned are inbuild in powertimer-management sometime later.

Regards

Hi,

just another try to request - could perhaps be a kind of "Christmas gift" ...

Hi,

please don`t kill me, but I'm coming back again to my very old request :

OpenATV has now recently integrated at least a part of the functionality (possibility of entering a period in which the autostandby after standby will be ignored) in "powertimer" (see attached sreenshot - please do not be surprised: screenshot is OpenATV, only skin is Magic-HD-Night from OpenVix).

See for details of changes:

https://github.com/openatv/enigma2/blob/master/PowerTimer.py

Perhaps it is possible, to take over this change/extension in OpenVix Hades?

Regards

PS:
Of course it would be still perfect, if additionally the option of the query of a intern IP could be integrated too ...
