[mythtv-users] Auto shutdown occurs while transcode/commflag job is in progress (bad idle detection)

[Matt Doran]

Hi there,

I have my myth box (0.20-fixes) configured to autoshutdown when idle.  I 
also make use of mythwelcome, etc, so that the machine isn't on wasting 
power when it doesn't need to be.

It all works nicely, except it is common for it to shutdown, while a 
transcode or commflag job is in progress.

Here's some sample output from last night's logs....

As you can see there is a commercial flag going (job 2501) ... but the 
system still thinks that it needs to shutdown.    So it seems that there 
is a problem in the way that the backend detects if these jobs are still 
running (i.e. it's idle detection).

I see plenty of this type of output.  You see it counting down to 
shutdown and then it restarts the counting.  But eventually the system 
will shutdown without completing the current job ... or any of the 
others in the queue.   The idle time is set to 120 secs and the job 
queue is checked every 60 secs.

Anyone else seeing this?  Any idea how to fix it?  Is there a bug hiding 
here somewhere?

Regards,
Matt
