ShowOSD + Countdown Timer

Post by CrazyTimes »

Is it possible to display a "live" countdown with the OSD? I would like to display a message along the lines of "Powering off in xx seconds" to give the user a chance to intervene if necessary. The xx being based of the remaining time of a running timer. My limited python skills are only allowing me to display "snapshots" of variables. Not something that is dynamically changing.

In fact, no scripts are needed:
