Hi

Is there an option to auto exit theatre view after xx minutes of in activity after a Stop.

Ours pc gets left on, and when our tv is switched off or to another source we lose track of how long MC as been scraping for backdrop images.

Cheers

I don't think there's an inactivity timer.  But you might find use in scripting calls to :

    http://localhost:52199/MCWS/v1/Playback/Info?Zone=-1

and checking the State and Status values that are returned.  You could use Windows Scheduler to periodically run a script that:

   - checks the value for Stopped on launch, and exits if Playing.  Otherwise...
   - delays for <desired mins> / 2 and then checks for Stopped, exiting otherwise
   - delays the remainder and checks for Stopped, exiting otherwise
   - sends an MCC command to switch out of Theater View
