A). In the "System Idle Monitor" settings section, make sure that both "Monitor the system for idle conditions?" and "Monitor Idle Squeezebox Players?" are checked. It sounds from you description that you may want your server to stay awake between 4am and 8pm. If so, then select "Do nothing, i.e. stay awake!" as the System Idle Monitor - Action to take after idle time. B). Under the "End of Day" settings, make sure that "Perform end-of-day action" is checked, "Allowed system idle time" is set to 20, "End-of-day start & end times" are set to 8:00 pm and 4:00 am, and the "Action to take after idle time" is set to "Shutdown to www.mysqueezebox.com". That ought to do it. The symptom you describe sounds like you may have neglected to check the "Monitor Idle Squeezebox Players" in the System Idle Monitor section. The only other situation I can think of where SrvrPowerCtrl ignores actively playing players is when the End of Day "Allowed system idle time" set to 0. When the EOD idle time is zero, SrvrPowerCtrl uses reduced idle checking: just blocks, scanning and player firmware updating. I.e., a zero value here means you really, really want the EOD action to happen, and happen now. Obviously, all these settings interact and it's entirely possible that you've uncovered a logic bug. Please let me know what you observe. -- 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
