I just wanted to know if it was possible to add a script that automaticaly runs when I logon to my profile and when it leave the xbox alone for 10 minutes that it goes back to the login screen. Is this possible at all?

yes

- 12-08-2006 added: xbmc.getGlobalIdleTime() method to python. Updated some documentation.

You can use this method to check the idle time. I guess that was obvious.

I have tried looking around but I don't know what function to use to get it to go back to the login screen.

[spiff]

the builtin command

system.logoff

[Nuka1195]

Code:

# idle time in minutes
IDLE_TIME_MIN = 10
s = 1
while s > 0:
  # get idle time
  it = xbmc.getGlobalIdleTime()
  #calculate sleep time in msec
  s = ((IDLE_TIME_MIN * 60) - it ) * 1000
  # sleep
  if (s > 0): xbmc.sleep(s)
# log off
xbmc.executebuiltin('System.LogOff')

either name it autoexec.py or call it from autoexec.py

Could you please clarify exactly where to create autoexec.py and what permissions, if any, need to be set etc. I've dropped the above example into .xbmc/userdata and it doesn't appear to work.
