Bugzilla – Bug 5192
Sleep function from web interface
Last modified: 2011-11-06 23:22:53 UTC
Currently there is no way to put a player to sleep from the web interface, only from the remote control. Enhancement request, sleep functionality from web interface.
see bug 105
7.0 default skin is being reworked currently. Jim, is one of your people working on the web design for 7.0? This is a feature that is implemented in the server, but only one of KDF's skins supports it so far.

I think that this is a good idea. We could add a sleep button to the right of the volume up icon.
We have to think about the GUI part: how do we let the user select different times? We might have a button with small numbers on them?
Punting enhancements post 7.0.x series Brian - any idea how this could fit in our GUI?
Assigning to Brian for mockup.
I'll have something for this before the weekend is up...
Michael what do you mean "small numbers"? Do you mean just on the icon to show what it does or are you imaging that user can select many minutes until it sleeps?
Is this still a feature that we are targeting for 7.1? I think we should add a sleep button to the left of the power button that also has an associated drop down menu. When asleep it will be lit up. Also we should enlarge the power button in this case. If the user presses the button it will put the player to sleep right away, and in the drop menu it should say: Sleep Now 15 minutes 30 minutes 60 minutes 90 minutes Same behavior as power, when the user tries to add or play something, the player will wake up. If the user has already set the sleep, the first menu item should say "Sleeping in x minutes" but it wouldn't be selectable, similar to the "select player" menu item in the player drop down menu. The second menu item should be "cancel sleep", followed by the menu items above. Should we see if Scott can create some assets for this?
don't forget the "sleep after current song" option, which is supported in the player ui. it will need to also be in web ui if you want to keep consistent. Implementation isn't hard, as the sleep value will return the correct values (time remaining, however, so you need some math to determine if that's 'at end of song' or just time remaining), but you'll need artwork to fit with it. Fishbone skin already does this, so you can compare when kind of code may be needed.
Brian: When the player goes to sleep, it actually pauses and turns off, so there is no specific "asleep" state. You'll need to be more specific about the UI. Can you provide some mock-up screenshots? Also, I'm not convinced that this is a high-priority enhancement (P4), and given how late we are in the cycle here and how there are no votes for this feature request, I'm thinking we should punt. Is there pull from the community for this? Finally, Michael would likely need to do the work. What are your thoughts, Michael.
I'm not sure I fully understand the UI idea: basically a drop down to the left of power? Should be feasible - just need the artwork. The enlarged power button? As for the demand: a lot of our own folks on the CC list, one external. Compared to the stop button request (bug 5670, bug 7320) this is less than minor. (and fwiw: there are even technical reasons for the latter to be fixed)

Matt: please think about this in the context of a web remote design spin

I will have a dozen cupcakes delivered to the SB folk as a bounty for this change.
Created attachment 6373 [details] Artwork artwork donation, just in case this is the limiting factor. This is what iPeng uses.
Matt Weldon doesn't work for us any more.
Unassigned bugs cannot have a priority.
