Sleep timer

xclocked · 2006-05-23, 12:07

Don't you all hate it when you're watching TV and you fall asleep, then all of the sudden you get awoken by it! That's why TV's have the easy to use sleep timers where you press a button and it will add the amount of minutes till shut down.

If I knew how to code I'd program the plugin, but I can't

. So, I was wondering if anyone here would be kind enough to create a plugin, so that each time you press a button, it will add about 15 minutes to the shutdown. The main use of this plugin would be for TV or Movies.

It gets really annoying using that standard feature where I have to get out of MY TV/My Movies just to turn the timer on!

Thanks alot! Xclocked!

I don't mind if it's exactly 15 as long as it worked the why I said so.

You'll find it in the alarm plugin

Does it work with the TV? I've heard that's it's quite outdated, I'll try it anyway, do you have a link?

Thanks.

It already became part of the official MP distribution.
