Title: sleep timer for gizmo. anyway to figure out a force stop/pause/kill app?
Post by: HTPC4ME on August 26, 2011, 02:45:06 am

just downloaded this app, works somewhat good, it basically turns the volume down but it won't kill gizmo, anyone know if it's possible to kill, pause, force a stop with this app? be great to use gizmo as a sleep aid, and be able to conserve battery at the same time.

app in market - https://market.android.com/details?id=ch.pboos.android.SleepTimer&feature=search_result
developers site explaining why it may not work - http://blog.pboos.ch/sleeptimer-for-android/

Dear Chris,

Thank you for the donation. Sad to hear it is not working with JRiver's Gizmo. Seems like they are not supporting the media pause/stop button. Sadly there is nothing I can do if they do not support that.
Only if you have root, there might be some hope still. Do you have a rooted phone? If you do not know what rooted means, than the answer is probably no.

Regards,
Patrick

Is there anything you guys could do, to enable this please?
