Sleep Timer
« on: September 12, 2005, 10:50:00 PM »

Being the poor sap that I am, my Xbox is not only my video game system, but pretty much my whole home entertainment system.  I usually watch a movie or something before I go to bed every night and I usually fall asleep while watching it, and my question is this...  Is there a way to make a sleep timer on your Xbox?  That would be the coolest thing ever!  I hate leaving my Xbox run all night when I fall alseep.

You could also use the autopower off from MS original dashbord while waiting for team xbmc to do waht you want

I'm surprised nobody knows that this already is in XBMC:
Settings -> System -> Shutdown Idle Timeout

This is one of my most used scripts in xbmc.
