Is it possible to add a sleep timer function? even if there is no button on the remote as I use a harmony remote so we just need the command...

and if you incorporate it in a menu can you also provide a single button to do this, I set the tv to sleep but then the player just continues to play...

This is not included in our firmware and there are, at this point, no plans to do so. For an alternative you might wanna check out this little how-to which a user created: viewtopic.php?f=98&t=16148

cheers,

might be a stupid question but will it work as my essential isn't connected to the internet, unless I don't understand the how to properly... didn't see any browser menu's on the essential.

please help...

You can do it over telnet but you than need the wireless dongle. And there is no browser in the essential that's correct so wifi dongle + telnet is your only way to go.

cheers,

is it possible to ask them to include this function in the future, I'm sure I'm not the only one that would like to see this, I'm not a programmer but not sure if this is a big change or how long it would take to add this

maybe it's a south africa thing but those dongles are expensive!

Can request this one more time but i doubt this will be put in the firmware anytime soon.

br,

thanx, much appreciated, shouldn't take them too long, give one of the programmers a beer and a send me the bill...

I second that. I also would appreciate a sleep timer function. Using a time controlled "outlet strip?" to hard power-off the HD2/Mini isn't a good solution.

So please think about it.
