Hello,
while playing with ACPI wakeup, i noticed that VDR always sets a wakeuptime of now+30 minutes, when the timeframe from 'now' to 'begin of next recording' is less than 30 Minutes.
Is that intended behaviour?

Apparently it is:
INSTALL:
If a timer is currently recording, or a recording would start within the next 30 minutes (default for the "Min. event timeout" setup parameter), and the user insists in shutting down now, the first and second parameter will correspond to a time that is "Min. event timeout" minutes in the future.
I walked into the same trap when first playing with the automatic shutdown. Maybe the syslog output could be improved to indicate if somebody hits this limit.

It is, for two reasons:
- The next wakeup time may be very shortly in the future, and the PC may not have shut down until then. As a result, the PC will never wake up again, no matter how many timers there will be.
- You insisted to shut down, so you probably have a good reason for it. Maybe you're about to work on hardware, and as a real man you never pull the plug. Would you be happy if the PC suddenly woke up?
Cheers,
Udo
