I am not a programmer, but this should be an easy one to do for someone who is.
First, the problem. When I set my Slimserver in sleep mode to lull me off to sleep at night, I set it to a very low , almost inaudible, volume. But inevitably, as things quiet down and my ears become more sensitive, I have to get up out of bed to turn the volume down yet again (via the computer, my stereo is in my living room). The next morning, forgetting that I had turned down the volume via the computer, I end up turning the volume on my stereo way up to get a reasonable volume. Proposed solution: some sort of smart sleep. I'd like to be able to give a start volume and an end volume. The sleep should then ramp the volume down by some fraction, either by stepping down after each song or just linearly with time. For instance, if I start at 100%, and tell it to end at 40%, and I set sleep to 60 minutes, the volume should ramp down by 1% per minute. Alternitively, if there are 10 songs in the playlist, it should drop by 5% after each song (whichever is easier to manage). If one wanted to get fancy, other ramps (quadratic, exponential, etc.) could be included. As a bonus, after the music shuts off, the volume should be restored to the original level so I don't have to remember to do it the next morning in my groggy pre-coffee state. Any takers? -- craigim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ craigim's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4840 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25294 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
