To turn is a user friendly interface for KMPlayer, download sleep.zip and copy the two files in this archive to your device. Next open the terminal application.
Create the directory /home/user/.kmplayer/generators:

$ mkdir .kmplayer/generators

Copy the sleep.xml to this directory

$ cp sleep.xml .kmplayer/generators

Copy the shell script to /home/user/.kmplayer

$ cp sleep.sh .kmplayer

Finally (re)start kmplayer and from the menu choose 'Sleep Timer'. You are prompted for a file selection and for how many minutes to play.

Could it be your device is in silent mode? I found this http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...410#post448410 and if you're using the default player, then the exe would be kgstplayer.

Uhm, the above should read

To turn this in a user friendly

and from the menu choose 'Generate Playlist' and then 'Sleep Timer'

@Joedumper: here's a desktop file to call it from the menu:

Code:

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Name=Timusic
Type=Application
Comment=Shuts music off after N minutes
Terminal=true
Exec=osso-xterm -e /opt/mybin/timusic.sh
Icon=mediaplayer_nowplaying_indicator_pause
Categories=ConsoleOnly;System;
GenericName=Music timer

I saved your script in /opt/mybin/timusic.sh and gave it one of the default icons (really, an ugly one - you could choose another or prepare a brand new one).
The desktop file is /usr/share/applications/hildon/timusic.desktop

This could be packaged also... it's not so bad

Cheers debernardis,

I was just putting together something similar,
seems to work ... nice little "app" now... doing exactly what i originally hoped.

I grabbed an image for the icon too... first draft attached

That's why it is in extras-devel

There was a bug and it couldn't work... now I fixed it and added state-switching plus sleeptimer-stop functionality.
Once the maemo servers are up again, I'll upload version 0.2.0
