Here it is, a plugin to shutdown, restart etc. your HTPC using different timers!

Ok, I know there a more than one plugin, which posess the same functionality. The idea behind this plugin is to have a simple way to execute the supported commands with a minimum of configuration effort and mouse/remote control clicks.

Highlights:
  • allows you to restart, shutdown, hibernate and standby your HTPC or logoff the actual user
  • up to 10 different timers can be defined
  • autostart functionality
  • quick activation mode for timer selection and available mode
  • offers properties to include informations from this plugin to your own skin
Installation:
  • download and start the suitable installer file "SleepControl.mpe1" from the download repository
    or
  • download and extract the attached file "SleepControl.zip" from this post (MediaPortal v1.6 and above) and copy all required files to your MediaPortal directory manually (see manual below for detailed instructions)
Skin Support:
  • PureVision HD
  • Black Glass family
  • StreamedMP
  • Maya

Language Support:
  • german, english, spanish (thx to bodiroga), dutch (thx to 4roma), hungarian (thx to twingos), danish (thx to 1stdead), french (thx to azzuro), russian (thx to renault)
Requirements:
  • the plugin requires some TVServer libraries to work properly
  • if you don't have installed the TVServer, please download the file TVServer libraries.zip from my HTPCInfo thread and copy the appropriate libraries manually into your MediaPortal installation directory

    Nice Micropolis, gonna give this one a try. Seems much more usefull to me then the built in plugin.



    Edit:
    If someone, handy with xml, could make me a SleepControl.xml for the Monochrome skin, I'd be even more happy.

    Multilanguage Support for SleepControl plugin

    Dear community,
    in the next 2 weeks I want to publish a new version of this plugin with multilanguage support.
    To support most important languages, I would like to invite you all to participate here. Attached you can find the german and english translation files. If you want to help me here, please download a file and translate it to your native language. The effort should not be large, in my opinion you need not more than 10 minutes. After it is finished, please reply to this post and attach the translation to this post.


    Actually supported languages:
    • german, english, spanish (thx to bodiroga), dutch (thx to 4roma), hungarian (thx to twingos)

    Thx to all for support, in advance a big thx to 1stdead for the support offered. This is a great community!

    Cheers, Micropolis ;-)

    Hi Micropolis!

    Here you have the spanish translation for the plugin. It's not perfect (I haven't installed the plugin yet), so if anybody wants to make any modification feel free to do it.

    Thanks for the plugin Micropolis!

    Regards,

    Aitor

    Here is the danish translation :)

    Instead of just:
    <String id="0">Sove tilstand</String>, you could use: <string Field="FilterBy">Filtrer efter</string> hard to know which string is what after translation. Great work though:D
    (I'll translate HTPCinfo when I have more time, currently busy with homework, so expect it in a few days.)

    Btw. as your plugin isn't depending on a large number of files you could use the mediaportal installer files. They are very easy to use a set up and you could upload them here: https://www.team-mediaportal.com/files/addfile/ Would make it easier for the enduser to use :)

    Hi 1stdead,
    I know it is few difficult to understand, which entry in a language file is used for the GUI later. But I must use the internal MediaPortal functions and conventions. If there is a better way, you can send me a c# snippet, then I can change it asap.
    Anyway, the published file is the german version, please upload your danish translation file again. Thx for your support.

    Cheers, Micropolis ;-)
