Linux [RELEASE]Plugin for Timer- and Powermanagement in XBMCbuntu/XBMC-live and TVHeadend

The addon could'nt cause the Crash. If xbmc crashes, the addon will die too. In this case control over powermanagement is lost and the pc is still powered on. Because xbmc and tvheadend are independent from each other, tvheadend will still do his job even when xbmc has crashed.

Thanks yes realised what it was. I have created a startup script to wake up mysql / media server so this doesn't happen again. (Rather than leave it on all the time)

Hello,

i am getting the following to the log file,


23.08.2012 14:44:53: PVR Manager: ERROR: <urlopen error [Errno -2] Name or service not known>
23.08.2012 14:44:53: PVR Manager: found PIDFile with ID 1442 but should be 1474, XBMC probably crashed
23.08.2012 14:44:53: PVR Manager: service finished

any idea? thanks.

The addon could'nt find the status.xml. Please check your settings. If tvheadend runs on the same machine, verify it with the screenshots posted (see links in Post #1).

If tvheadend runs on another machine, the tvheadend URL must be: http://ip.of.your.server:9981/status.xml

Ok it is on the same machine, but it looks like the xbmc crashes & reloads again as i am getting the following

23.08.2012 18:36:36: PVR Manager: found PIDFile with ID 1495 but should be 1519, XBMC probably crashed
23.08.2012 18:36:56: PVR Manager: Service still active, monitoring PWR/OTHER: no/no

also i have changed the url in the configuration from localhost to the ip of the xbmc.

how can i extend test it to see it works again?

thanks.

That means, addon is active and monitoring your remote events (power button and other buttons). If you press power on remote now, the addon will display a message showing in screenshot #1 and the machine will power off after the schedule.

ok tried that with no success, the power button does nothing.

i have made all the changes you describing in the readme file.

thanks.

also i rebooted my xbmc now & i got a message that the script for pvrmanager failed.

i understand that xbmc does not know what the power button from control does. will it work if i select the shutdown command from the interface?

thanks.

Sorry I'm on vacation now. We talk about it next week. I need a summary of the xbmc.log when the script fails.

ok no problem.

When I had my htpc record a movie overnight, the htpc would hang and would still be powered on the next day.
When I tried to make a recording at daytime, all went fine.

The solution to my problem was that at night my tv was powered off. Linux wouldn't boot correctly because it couldn't determine the right resolution for my screen. After I saved the EDID-information of my tv to the local hard drive, Linux could boot without the tv turned on.
Now recording at night works fine.

I hope this information is helpful to you.
