Yes, this > feature is there solely for the benefit of IRBlaster and PowerCenter. I use PowerCenter. When SrvrPowerCtrl turns off my Transporter before issuing the suspend command, PowerCenter then fires off an X10 command to turn off my amps.

It will require some juggling of the code logic, though, to allow this to be unchecked while still keeping the "drag back from SN" functionality.

I supposed I could build some kind of check into the OnIdle timer so that it's "sleep aware" and takes action as soon as it sees that sleep playing has finished. Would it be sufficient if the "automatic end-of-sleep" action was the sleep+hold action? (I.E. can I get away with not having to tack yet another combo box onto the settings page?) -- gharris999 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ gharris999's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=115 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48521 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
