[Announce] Slumber – Sleep Timer for SailfishOS
 

Hi all,
I made a thing and would love you to tell me if it works for you:

slumber is a sleep timer program for SailfishOS with sensors support.

This means you can use the accelerometer or proximity sensor to reset the timer if the display is lit: Just place your device on your bed and slap the mattress in it's general direction to reset the timer. If the display is off, tapping the screen thrice to "wake up and reset" in one go works reasonably good as well.

It's designed to pause local media players or Kodi/VLC via network.
If your device supports it (Jolla1 does not), aliendalvik/android media players shown on the lock screen should work, too.
Optionally, an audible notification plays for the last few seconds before pausing your media.

Please let me know if it works for your favourite Player.

Known restrictions:
- Does not work with Android media players on jolla1 phone.
- Does not work in Sailfish Browser (working alternative: WebPirate Browser)
- Sensors won't work when Display is off. But there is an option to keep it on while the timer runs. (If you know how to fix: please tell me!)
- Phone Vibration might trigger Accelerometer. (Well…)

Install
- https://openrepos.net/content/velox/slumber (most recent builds)

Please, fix button-width :D It is too big...

Re: [WIP] Slumber – Sleep Timer for SailfishOS
 

Yay, if Button Layouts are the worst thing anyone notices, that's a pretty good sign.
It looks a bit weird on Landscape, though, good point. On Portrait, I think it's actually prettier than automatic width, but I'll just change it and get over it. :) Thanks for taking the Time and giving Feedback!

Re: [WIP] Slumber – Sleep Timer for SailfishOS
 

v0.2 is uploaded to warehouse & first post is updated. Buttons are much narrower now :D

Re: [WIP] Slumber – Sleep Timer for SailfishOS
 

Killdroid in the Jolla store can restart the Alien Dalvik system, as long as you've given it your root password.

Makes me wonder if you could use that (or the same mechanism) to shut all Android apps. It'd have to be a setting - it's a pretty blunt way of turning off the radio :)

ETA - there's also this http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=96085

Re: [WIP] Slumber – Sleep Timer for SailfishOS
 

nice app, but doesn't work for flowplayer
how does it work? dbus? I can add whatever you need, just let me know

Re: [WIP] Slumber – Sleep Timer for SailfishOS
 

I'll keep this in mind as a possible feature in the future. Good to know there are ways to kill dalvik and still get accepted to Jolla Store. Thanks!

Pausing media is actually a bit of a hack right now: I just play a very short, silent .mp3 file right out of QML, which automatically pauses a lot of native players. I tried using dbus from QML when I wanted to fade out media volume before, but didn't get anywhere. Hints how to do that stuff at all (and helpful dbus methods) would be greatly appreciated…

Re: [WIP] Slumber – Sleep Timer for SailfishOS
 

Using MPRIS to pause the players might be a better solution for native players. Which is what the lockscreen media controls use, and so is a common API for you to hook into

Re: [WIP] Slumber – Sleep Timer for SailfishOS
 

This is why I like this place. Thanks, I'll definitely look into that!

Re: [WIP] Slumber – Sleep Timer for SailfishOS
 

Add this to your globals.qml file:

on top of page:
import org.nemomobile.mpris 1.0

Insde main Rectangle component:
MprisManager { id: mprisManager }

then when timer is triggered add this:
mprisManager.pause()

This should work for stock player and flowplayer (also cutespot uses mpris afaik)
