Shutdown after finish playing current / playlist / queue files

Why not just use the idle timer in XBMC? It won't be triggered when videos are playing back, so it will only shut down after they are. Set it to like 15 - 20 minutes or something like that. Even less, if you want to.

They're reluctant to add it to the core of XBMC. It should be possible to do this as an add-on.
Or, perhaps they would be more receptive to a core addition that had more usage. Say, a generic "do action" after a playlist is done, where shutdown would be one option. If the addition is more versatile then there is more incentive to include it. I can't say the for sure, though, not being a dev myself and not really knowing what applications this could have, but it might be a path worth looking at.
