Power saving mode #173

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
Please add a system-level feature to power down a GTV device when 

a) Video input has been off for XXX time period (honestly I think this could be 
as low as 1 minute)
b) Other suitable checks for user interaction suggest nothing happening
c) possibly it would check that the OUTGOING HDMI handshake indicates the 
output is off too.  On some GTV devices, ie. the Co-Star, there is only 1 
output.. if that is off, then you couldn't even be listening to audio (ie. over 
the optical output that exists on a Revue).  However it would be nice if the 
power saving could work simply by examining the info from items a) and b).

of course all of this is enabled/configured by the end user.

Right now, the GTV devices are nothing but power hogs, with no smarts.

I'd be happy to write this as an App, but I believe Powering down requires root 
level privs... so we need some system level support.
