Hibernate instead of shutdown after recording

Asked by stecklum

Hi, when running other applications I'd rather like to hibernate/suspend after recording. Since the shutdown is probably be done by a system call, I'd like to replace it in the source code. Can you point me to the corresponding part? Thanks, Bringfried.

Hi,

You will find that in the file "scheduled_recording_manager.cc" arround the
line 525.

I used the command 'grep "shutdown" -R *' to find it.

Cheers,
Fred

Thanks, I changed the code but was no able to test yet. It would be nice if the
advanced section of the scheduled recording menu would offer the three system
shutdown options, aka suspend/hibernate/shutoff.

Dear Frédéric, I noticed that org.gnome.SessionManager only provides a shutdown method. Instead, org.freedesktop.PowerManagement has to be used. However, my attempts failed so far since the suspend/hibernate does not complete (normally works fine). I was able to REISUB from an hibernation but could not identify the reason of the failure yet. Maybe I'll just use a shell script which polls until me-tv terminated, and issues suspend/hibernate thereafter.

Hi,

It wasn't me who implement this part of the code. I did build the "action
after" part but it was the main developer who actually program the
"shutdown". So I can't help you much with that.

The "script" approach is not a bad idea at all. You can also call your
script from within me-tv (easier then changing the org.gnome.SessionManager
by org.freedesktop.PowerManagement).

Cheers,
Frederic
