Quit XBMC when TV is off

[mihailescu2m]

Well, from the last patch, all should have exited with code 50. But I saw only code 64 on exit

are we sure the setting (2 at the end) is correctly passed to the condition?

ok, just checked koen's scripts to apply the patches, according to it the patch is currently applied only to xbmc 13. which nightly are you trying? 12 or 13.

PM koen again please, what was the reason. I don't want to break his processes if there was reason for that.

This is because doesn't apply on the xbmc 12 source code

interesting, because I'm at frodo 12.2 from 2.5.2013 and the patch was diffed from modifications to this source code. since then I have not pulled from xbmc upstream.

if you will have 10m, can you dry run it and send me the stdout ?

[Koenkk]

Will check (note that this was with an older version if the patch)

yes yes, no problem

Assuming that this problem is worked out, would it be possible to have XBian do a backup before shutting down or as part of the shutdown process?

[mk01]

backup what and backup to where ?

You can modify /etc/init.d/xbmc yourself and do that, in proc do_start (before the halt or reboot command).

So that's why I could not see any change at all in behaviour

This is a very interesting feature. Any updates on this? I am willing to test. Will do a clean install of beta1.1 tonight.

Perhaps there should be a 'pause' when switching from HDMI source on the tv. Don't exit XBMC immediately but wait a few minutes (in case you just want to check something on another channel and switch back again).

Hi guys,
Any news for this feature? Did you guys manage to throw the correct exit code?
cheers,

No, but it can be solved easily in a different way.

I will include that option in Beta2.

@mihailescu2m

are you still somewhere around and active ?

Great news. Is a very interesting feature for users that run raspberry 24/7 because xbmc service only is needed with TV.

not really. Like me listening music from local server or online radios or streams. so for this I dont need TV ON but I need XBMC running. so imagine you listen to music and than your XBMC goes OFF cos the TV is OFF
