I'd like to have all media directors shut off at midnight if they are still powered on (except the core of course). I got lights to shut off but for some reason the MD's don't shut down with the timed event. I can power them off from an orbiter just fine. Any thoughts?

iirc they take a different command to power down than on/off..

I think this would be a great feature. Have them power off, and then at a specific time in the morning, power back up.
How green would that be?
I am going to check into this tonight, and see if I can come up with something as well. Please post back any findings here, during you experimentation. I will as well.
Regards,
Seth

I am actually doing this and have been for a while. I'll post my timed event setup when I get home tonight.

I look forward to your setup. This is something I have not been able to implement yet. I would like to use it. It would greatly reduce the monthly electric bill, and also possibly reduce some heat in certain cases.
Perhaps over the weekend I will give it a try.
Regards,
Seth

You have to use the core general info plugin, and halt the device:  OR, if you use the suspend feature, then use the app server plugin to spawn the suspend script:  The use wake to turn it back on:  |

Beautiful!  As an exercise, let's see if we can make a "Wizard" that you can select from the pulldown, to select MDs to turn on and off. -Thom |

TCP Port 12000 on the MD contains timestamps with information about what is playing atm. |

That's the time code port for the Xine Player, and does not work in all cases.

Hi,
I was more thinking about doing this under event handler or scenarios. For instance, don't make speech announcement if I'm playing video....
Possible ?
Thanks in advance,
regards,
Bulek.

Unfortunately, I don't think it is possible. There is no way to check if video is playing. Maybe that can be added, but the functionality isn't there right now. |
