Sage screen saver

[TunaBoo]

What does screen saver timeout do? It is in the options of betarc2/3, and I think it was even in 1.4. I am trying to make my sage go to the screen saver and stop recording if nothing is touched for 60 minutes, but I don't think there is a way.

Are you playing anything during the 60 minutes? In release 1.4, I only see the screen saver when I am paused for 20 mins or I have something like the guide or setup screen displayed.

No. I kinda want it set this way so if I fall asleep watching TV it will kick on. I don't think it works tho.

Nope, it won't do that. How would sage know the difference between you being asleep or watching something with nothing to skip?
I think what you really want is a new sleep timeout function like most TV's have.

No button presses? I dont watch live TV.

The TV can stay on, I care less. I don't want it recording a bunch of crap I don't want with liveTV.

I can write a macro myself to do it though, all I need to do is send sage a control+z if no activity.

I believe it will only fall asleep if you are at a menu or if video playback is paused. If you are watching a recording, not LiveTV, it will return to a menu when done & eventually go to sleep via the screen saver. I think this only applies to full screen mode... I don't believe windowed SageTV evers falls asleep or enters screen saver mode on its own. (?)
