idle timeout continues after don't listen command in 1.1.5.8
« on: October 02, 2013, 01:22:11 AM »
After recently upgrading to 1.1.5.8 I discovered that issuing a 'don't listen' command to place VC back into standby does not stop the idle timeout timer.  If I have the idle timeout set to 15 seconds after a listen command and then issue a 'don't listen' VC goes immediately back to standby, but then still issues an idle timeout once 15 seconds from the original listen command hits.

The reason this is concerning for me is that with my current setup I'm stuck using mute for ducking and my TV does not have discreet mute and unmute remote commands. So if I manually go back to standby it unmutes and then the idle timeout causes it to mute again. (as I have an event tied to idle timeout to cause it unmute automatically)

I hope that made sense.

I did test this by reverting to 1.1.5.0 and the problem does happen in that version.

Thanks!

Yes, sorry, this is a bug that we have already discovered and it has been fixed for the next version release.

If it is a big problem for your set-up, you may want to revert to the old version for now.

Thank you for the quick reply and the update. I installed 1.1.5.9, but the idle timeout issue persists  ::confused.  As workaround I shortened the time for the timeout and removed the ducking mute in that command for now. This way I can force VC into standby so it doesn't hear another command and then a few seconds later it un-mutes when the timeout hits.  Not ideal but workable for now. Thanks again.

I do not know if it is possible to stop the timer if it is running, but I found a way how you can use your old configuration. The solution is - use a map table with a logic block in VC.
In this way, I hope I can show all VC users how powerful the map function in VC is and will post a video.

ooops, Kalle I edited the wrong post by accident and removed your link! I hope this is the correct link:
