Power off when not idle

Hi,
   I'm still a newbie, so sorry if this has been already discussed, but how about an option to power off RockBox when no buttons have been touched for, say 2 hours.

I have sometimes left my Sansa Clip+ playing, headphones out, only for it to die 12 hours later having emptied the battery.  How about a auto-power-off option.  It should be disabled in party mode.

Jim.

Have you looked at the sleep timer?

There are a few patches that deal with persistent sleep timers.

This one looks promising.

Sleep timer might do it, but with 2 possible drawbacks: According to the manual, the sleep timer is reset on every boot, and I am not sure the sleep timer is reset when any key is pressed.

Llorean:
Yes, you will need to manually set the sleep timer. Wanting the player to stop playback after X hours of playing if, and only if, users don't touch keys (something many people may not even do during many hours of playing) is a somewhat obscure requirement, and probably not likely to go in on its own.
