New Sleep Timer Plugin

[23skidoo]

You'd didn't install the new Community Skin today, did you? I had a little weirdness with that.

Sorry dude; I sure hope there's not some dumb bug in the Sleep Timer. It's pretty simple though. Doesn't make any changes to config.xml, or any other file for that matter.

Good luck. Keep us posted here.

What kind of wierdness?

I am wondering if including CommonGBPVRUtilities.dll in the installs is a bad idea as maybe there is something up with that. (Only connection along with CommonGBPVRUIElements.dll between the two).

@Fatman_do: It never showed video in the inset window. But now that I think of it, I'm not sure there was an inset window in that main menu skin? I'll play with it some more later. Heading out.

It looks really nice though. The weather looks a lot better (not that it's bad in the Blue skin, but you know...).

My bad, I fubar-ed the download with an older version of the menu that doesn't include a video inset. I have fixed it today and will be in the next update. I am already plucking ahead with more internal changes so once I get my head screwed on straight, I will post an updated menu.

Did you run config first? If so, did you check your log to see why it failed to load it into the list? config.exe-X.log

You might also want to make sure you download and run the install program. I removed the attached zip file package from the top post.

I did run config. I"ll check out that log.

Ya I got an error:

Something related to the execution of the main plugin class' constructor maybe? Hmm. Not much in there.

Code:

public SleepTimer()
{
m_SleepTimer = this;

m_EscapePressed = true;

m_RemainingMinutes = -1;
m_Refresh = false;

m_SleepDuration = new TimeSpan(0);

m_Timer = new System.Timers.Timer();

m_Timer.Elapsed += new ElapsedEventHandler(OnTimedEvent);

//Config dialog?
if (PluginHelperFactory.getPluginHelper() == null) return;  

// Load task image if it exists
taskImage = [COLOR=red][B]SkinUtilities[/B][/COLOR].TaskImage(MyPlugInSkinSubDirectoryName);

// Currently empty....
LoadConfigValues();

}

I'm guessing it's a problem with your (or my) version of CommonGBPVRUtilities. The one I'm buliding against has an assembly version of 3.0.2427.24356.

Will this work on the MVP? Been waiting for something like this. Also will it work with audio instead of video like when I'm listening to my music library or net radio. Will it interfere with pending recordings or current recordings?

I don't really know anything about the MVP. Is that a web interface for GB-PVR?

Been waiting for something like this. Also will it work with audio instead of video like when I'm listening to my music library or net radio.

Yeah. It completely closes the main GB-PVR application. Not the recording service, just the desktop frontend application.

Will it interfere with pending recordings or current recordings?

Nope. It doesn't stop the GB-PVR recording service. Just shuts down the main app gracefully.

Does anyone know?

Thanks.
