Comment (by amb@…):
If I set the FrontendIdleTimeout setting to zero I want it never to go to
standby. If I want it to go to standby I set the FrontendIdleTimeout
setting to non-zero.
This is what the documentation string in the setup says:
"Number of minutes to wait when the frontend is idle before entering
standby mode. Standby mode allows the backend to power down if configured
to do so. Any remote or mouse input will cause the countdown to start
again and/or exit idle mode. Video playback suspends the countdown. A
value of zero prevents the frontend automatically entering standby."
Quite clearly it should never go to standby if the setting is zero - but
it does.
For users of MythWelcome the Mythfrontend standby screen is unwanted and
setting FrontendIdleTimeout to zero should fix it but it doesn't without
the patch.
For your case where there is no MythWelcome and Mythfrontend is started at
boot then choose a non-zero value for FrontendIdleTimeout and all will be
well - even with the patch.
