Auto deepstandby

[dfox]

Evening,

For some reason I have set an auto deep standby after being in stanby for 10 mins but this doesnt seem to be putting the box into deep standby.

Anyone know what would be stopping this? I have no recordings set.

thanks

I have a similar/same timer where after 10 minutes in standby the box automatically then goes to deep standby. I've just checked it and it is still working on 5.1.019.

Update: Still working both with first putting the box into standby manually and then the power timer kicking in to put the box into deep standby and with a power timer putting the box into standby at 00:30am (plus the 2 minute count down) and then the second power timer putting the box into deep standby after 10 minutes.

To dfox
Go to the power timer list, highlight a power timer, press the info button on your remote and you should get a log of the operation of that power timer which can be posted to show what may have gone wrong. It may be better to press blue = clear log to clear the historic log information and let the timer run once again before posting the log for the one event.

Thanks, it seems to work when on a Freesat channel but if it's a stream it doesn't.

So you're saying that if you are watching a stream (or rather, not watching it but have left it running) the box will go into autostandby, but won't then go into autodeepstandby?

The code for AutoDeepStandby contains a comment (which is unusual, but I wrote it...):

# Check for there being any active Movie playback or IPTV channel
# or any streaming clients before going to Deep Standby.

I'll need to find out why the code that is there is there (but it should only apply if you aren't in StandBy).

When you are watching a stream, does it ever put it into Standby?
Or are you putting it into Standby manually, but nothing further is happening?

I am putting the box into standby manually, and have a timer set to go to auto deepstandby after 10 mins of being in standby but this doesn't work on a stream. Service reference for stream pals 5001, I'm sure before this was changed it worked. I'll change the reference to 4097 0r 1 and see if it fixes it

you say it doesn't work on stream. are you using a specific plugin that downloads epg automatically? if so check these setting

I am using EPG Importer for EPG.

If I gave you a slightly modified version of PowerTimer.py (that recorded why it wasn't going into DeepStandby) would you be able to run it?
