Default Sleep Timer button while watching MyTV

It would really make the MediaPortal TV experience much more enjoyable if it had a sleep/shutdown timer. I only setup MediaPortal to watch TV late at night before i go to bed. I hate falling asleep with the Computer still on or having to wakeup to turn it off incase i fall asleep.

What i'm thinking about is a feature that will add 5minutes to the sleep timer each time the button is pressed with a little textbox on the screen showing the ammount of time it's going to turn off. And 1 minute before it turns off, It will say 'Goodnight'.

If you've noticed, many TV's have this feature.

The My alarm plugin has a sleeptimer. Goto the alarm plugin, click the sleep timer button. Set the time and click the shutdown computer button (uses the power scheduler plugin) and go watch tv.

I know, you allready told me. But that's too much of a procedure as i allready replied to you (YOU JUST WANT TO MAKE ANOTHER EASY POST). What i would like is a button to add more minutes to the sleep timer each time it is pushed.

Example:

1 press: 10min
2 press: 20min
3 press: 30min
4 press: 0min

Something like that would be really easy and usefull for people that watch TV before sleeping.
