Apologies if this is a bit too obvious, but
have you checked that the menu item isn't set

the mythwelcome screen? Perhaps someone

I did check that. You don't get the countdown if

Could the schedule change events be relevant to

Thanks,<br>

<div>Have ypu turned on eit scanning on any of the

I think it's because I'm using eit for my sources.</div>

Yes I am using EIT for my sources. That's just what I
got working when I first installed mythtv. I'm in
London, UK. Is there a xmltv source I could use that
might be better?<br>
<br>
So the schedule change event might be an update from EIT
that's stalling the shutdown?<br>

I'm having a go now. I'll let you know if it fixes it.</blockquote>
OK I've tried the xmltv option. I didn't delete the EIT source
yet, perhaps I should. Now it still doesn't shut down properly but
mythwelcome.log has different entries...<br>

OK deleting the EIT source didn't help but I think I worked out my
problem...<br>

I found this in my mythbackend.log (should have looked in there
earlier):<br>

Has something changed so that mythshutdown now uses sudo to shut

the box down.<br>

<br></blockquote></div>What do you have in your /etc/sudoers file<br>
<br>
sounds like you might need to setup sudo to allow it to run mythshutdown <br>
<br>
%mythtv ALL = NOPASSWD: /sbin/shutdown, /bin/sh, /usr/bin/setwakeup.sh, /usr/bin/mythshutdown<br>
<br>
replace mythtv with user you use to run mythshutdown<br>
<br>
There is a guide on the wiki to setup mythwelcome and mythshutdown, Ive
had to follow it again after an ugprade in the past. It might be worth
going through it again.<br>
<br>
Hope this helps
