miniz98 73 Posted October 10, 2018 Posted October 10, 2018 Hello i was wondering if you could make a timeout option for the android app only not the server. My kids always leave the android box on and turn the tv off and it kills data streaming from hdhomerun prime. What i was thinking is you could set a time of say 2 hours from the time a new stream is established. If the user continues watching it would tell them to continue watching or it would drop the stream. If there was a recording happening it would ignore this 2 hour timer. What do you think? Thanks.
Luke 42078 Posted October 10, 2018 Posted October 10, 2018 Hi, yes we plan to get this into all apps. thanks.
Solution mastrmind11 722 Posted October 10, 2018 Solution Posted October 10, 2018 wait, isn't runaway playback prevention supposed to do this already? 1
miniz98 73 Posted October 10, 2018 Author Posted October 10, 2018 What is that do and where do I set it. Thanks.
miniz98 73 Posted October 10, 2018 Author Posted October 10, 2018 Nice I see it now. Runaway prevention how does it work exactly so I can understand it.
ebr 16182 Posted October 11, 2018 Posted October 11, 2018 Yeah, this already exists in the app. If it is enabled, it will put up a message ("Are you still watching?") on the screen at the beginning of a program or video if there has been no user-interaction with the app for at least an hour. If someone doesn't hit a key within 15 seconds of the message coming up, it stops playback.
miniz98 73 Posted October 12, 2018 Author Posted October 12, 2018 (edited) I enabled it and same stream has been running for 3 hrs and never got a message yet. How long does it take? Edited October 12, 2018 by miniz98

miniz98 73 Posted October 12, 2018 Author Posted October 12, 2018 What's that mean.. I only have one login.
EODCrafter 181 Posted October 12, 2018 Posted October 12, 2018 (edited) What's that mean.. I only have one login. Try adding a User that doesn't have Admin Perms and see if it times out then....Server Panel>User>+ add local user. It's prob better to not always be logged in as Admin Edited October 12, 2018 by EODCrafter
miniz98 73 Posted October 12, 2018 Author Posted October 12, 2018 What would an admin have anything to do with timeout. If an admin is watching TV for over 3 hours straight he needs a new job. I don't think this is right. I'll wait for another answer.
EODCrafter 181 Posted October 12, 2018 Posted October 12, 2018 (edited) ok...Personally, If I designed software, I would make it so it doesn't auto-boot the Admin account, Maybe Luke didn't. Edited October 12, 2018 by EODCrafter
Spaceboy 2573 Posted October 12, 2018 Posted October 12, 2018 I asked this elsewhere, I don’t believe this works with live tv. I have never seen it
ebr 16182 Posted October 12, 2018 Posted October 12, 2018 I enabled it and same stream has been running for 3 hrs and never got a message yet. How long does it take? What, exactly, is the stream and do you have valid guide data? 1
Jdiesel 1431 Posted October 12, 2018 Posted October 12, 2018 It works for me with live TV, something like a an hour and a half to two hours usually triggers it as I usually only tend to see it when watching sports.
miniz98 73 Posted October 12, 2018 Author Posted October 12, 2018 (edited) Weather channel was on for over 3 hours hdhomerun premium in a m3u file. Hdhomerun guide data. The reason for m3u file is so I can map my own channel numbers Edited October 12, 2018 by miniz98

The feature is not going to just kick them off what they are watching if they are actually watching it...
miniz98 73 Posted October 12, 2018 Author Posted October 12, 2018 Ill keep an eye on it. Not sure if i bumped a button...
ebr 16182 Posted October 12, 2018 Posted October 12, 2018 Also, were there individual programs showing and not just a single 3 hour one? The check is done on a program change, not a random time interval. It is assumed that one wants to complete whatever program they started watching without being bugged by a prompt.
miniz98 73 Posted October 12, 2018 Author Posted October 12, 2018 That makes perfect sense. Maybe that's why.
