What do you guys think: should the 'on-idle' and 'not-idle' stuff be broken out of SrvrPowerCtrl and put into a separate plugin...something along the lines of the PreventStandby plugin for Windows? SrvrPowerCtrl has always been about trying to control power states on a headless, dedicated SBS server with no OS power-save features enabled. It seems like more and more folks are using non-dedicated machines as the audio server for their Squeezeboxen and trying to keep their OS's power schemes in play. Trying to accommodate this is having the effect (at least in my head) of stretching SrvrPowerCtrl out of shape.
Would a separate, bare-bones 'IdleState' plugin with none of the bells & whistles of SrvrPowerCtrl be a better match here? IdleState could execute user-configured commands at a user-configured frequency according to three different states: not-idle (i.e. playing, scanning, firmware updating). idle (i.e. none of the above) grace (idle, but within a grace time-out since the last not-idle) (SrvrPowerCtrl currently doesn't differentiate between 'not-idle' and 'grace'.) Would this be a better match for what you guys want to do? -- 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/mailman/listinfo/plugins
