[ATV2] forgets sleep timer
#1
Hi,

I have set my apple tv2 to go into sleep mode after 15 minutes but every now and then i see the LED power light on.

When i then turn on the television the apple tv is on and when i go to general settings the sleep timer is now set to never.

It is like it sometimes forgets the 15 minutes timer and just goes to sleep never as default mode. I have recreated the problem by setting the timer, then going into XBMC and then quitting XBMC. When i come back to the settings sleep time is set to never...

Anyone know what is going on?

XBMC can not keep the appletv from sleeping, so what it does is disable the sleeptimer when it starts and restoring the original value once it exits.

If it is not set after exiting XBMC, this means xbmc is crashing on exit. I'm assuming the devs will want some logs then to see why that is happening.

Make sure you are on the second beta though.

remember, sleep timer won't actually save any power (ever so slightly, but no more than a few bucks of electricity over an entire year, and that has more to do with CPU cycles than it actually sleeping).
