any chance for an auto sleep function?
any chance a property like this could be added at the server end for the mvp's?
my kids have a habit of not turning the mvp's off so they occupy the darn tuner cards and run all day. it would be nice if there was an event timer where if no button pushes had been noted after a timeout period - say 3 hours? the mvp would automatically go into sleep mode and release the tuner. as a side note it would also be nice if a property existed where channel changes or recordings set specifically at the server end would force the mvp to release a tuner but i don't think that one is do-able? thanks |

I don't have an answer to this (my inlaws stay with us frequently and do the same thing).
My son is 'trained' to only watch recordings. I'm working on my inlaws. LiveTV is so passe. Seriously, the only live TV I ever see is the news and that's really infrequent. I may watch shows when they're on, but always through Sage Recordings. |

As an alternative: I had the same problem (my wife leaves the MVP running all day in the bedroom ), and I wrote a small plugin for my personal use that auto-sleeps the UI every 2 hours (of course showing a dialog first with the ability to cancel). The timer gets reset whenever you change the channel or re-enter the OSD menu. If you are interested in this, let me know. Dirk |

As for the auto-sleep plugin, that would rock.

Ok, here's the SageMC version, I'll whip up one for the default STV when I find some free time. The sleep time is set to 2 hours, but you can configure it with the property df/mvp_sleep_minutes. You will need to restart the UI after the import (you'll also need my df_sageutils.jar installed for the import to work). The next scheduled sleep time can be checked in the system info under Settings.

alright i'm a moron - how is it that i'm not getting this to show up? i have df_sageutils.jar in the JAR's folder and i have imported the proggy but nil, nada, zip? now since i am a dumb ass i have a feeling that i'm not importing it correctly? i have been importing through the sagemc "import stvi" button but should i actually be importing through the detailed setup, advanced, import sagemc.xml area? also does it matter which foleder the auto sleep plugin is stored in? thanks. |

I do have a question, can the timer reset be changed to listen for ANY keypress, instead of just when changing the channel or entering the OSD? There are many times that I don't need to bring up the OSD and am watching a specific channel for multiple hours. But I am usually doing stuff like pausing, or REW/FF. But, the timer will still trigger an auto-sleep if I am not careful.

sorry for not responding earlier, I didn't subscribe to this thread and must have missed the new posts in here .. Do you still have the problem you described ? It doesn't really matter if you use the SageMC "Import STVi" button or the one in Detailed setup (both call the same code), and it shouldn't matter either from where you import the plugin. Can you generate a debug log file (see my sig), maybe I can see something in there... Dirk |

I'd have to add the code to every existing listener (and there are quite a few) to reset on ANY keypress, but I could add it to some specific ones like Pause, REW and FF if this helps Dirk |

Is sleeping the same as powering off the device? I have a problem with MVPs powering on and holding onto licenses. And because of the SageTV licensing flaw that these people still haven't fixed, new connections show TRIAL instead of bumping idle devices.

I do wish there was a way to see (from a PlaceShifter connection) and control what other PlaceShifters are connected. That way if I left a connection open on one PC and go to another, I could bump that one off. Of course that would involve security models, etc... |

The simplest solution is to have new connections bump an idle connection or the oldest connection. but back to the question at hand: will sleeping accomplish the same thing powering off the device? |
