Moin Heckie!

I was hoping you could help me with finding my way into this.

I was looking for a timer that would get a setting like 30 minutes use of the player per day in this profile and if that time is up logout from that profile. If you login again: sorry, time is up, bye bye :))

From your experience, is the playtime available in a system variable, i.e. the time the player was used during a certain period? Or is that something you would need to fiddle together yourself? I was thinking the player would be the best place to start so it does not matter if I watch a file or some youtube content.

Ideas?

You must implement your own Player in order to get events for start playing etc.

Then you could sum up the played time and store it somewhere, e.g. in settings file.

Then you must implement a script adon that starts with Kodi and displays the message if the time limit is reached.

However, this issue is not related to this addon.

Thanks a lot! I got some ideas from your code already, thanks for the hint! True, not related to the addon but at least somehow in hte realm of timers :)))

Thanks again!
