I'm using Frodo with a MythTV backend and everything is working great (with the marked exception of ATSC Closed Captions, but that's a different story....). My wife, though, is in the habit of accidentally forgetting to stop LiveTV when she's done using XBMC and this is causing LiveTV to keep running and running forever.
I've looked and not found a way to insert a timeout of some kind. What I'd like to see is some way of setting a time out value (of, for example 3 hours) and after that amount of time LiveTV automatically stops playback unless it gets user feedback (I'd even be okay without the user feedback part if I could just get it to stop automatically).
Her forgetting to stop the playback is playing havoc on my MythBackend server (eg, running the LiveTV area out of space among other things).
Is there a way to do this? In MythFrontend I could do this but I cannot find such a setting in XBMC.
