ShowOSD + Countdown Timer

CrazyTimes · Post by **CrazyTimes** » Sat Mar 19, 2016 3:30 pm

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:

Thank you, this is a great way to do it. Before I was using the timer plugin, but now I have a countdown, and attached is how I abort it, it it helps someone.
