Count down counter when sleep is activated?

[whirlwind]

Hi,

Using GoneMad 2.0.28 on Android 6.01

When sleep mode is enabled, let's say for 30 minutes. Is there any visual clue on the "Now Playing" screen to tell that sleep is active?

I think the best would be to have a count down counter visible directly somewhere on the Now Playing screen. In case this feature already exists, can you please show me how to enable it? Thanks in advance for any help.

There is no visual counter

Would you consider adding a count down counter when sleep is activated? Otherwise how can we tell the difference?

no plans, but i'll keep it in mind when i redo the UI. Most users use the sleep timer as a set it and forget it thing. Like if i set the sleep timer on my tv it doesnt show how much time is left in the corner.

If there is no sleep indicator, how can we tell? For example I activate sleep for 30 minutes. When the time is elapsed, does the player stop? I hope it does. And when it stops, if I am not sleeping yet, I hit play again. Then what would happen? Does it go again for another 30 minutes? No I suppose, in reality. But I think in my head, the sleep counter must be on. It has to be, I am playing at night. The only way to know is to play it past 30 minute and to find out if it was in sleep mode or not.

Think about this. If you have an alarm clock without an indicator on/off. It would be very inconvenient to use. Although it is perfectly usable. You just need to wait each morning to find out if it will ring or not.

Yes it stops.. thats the point of the sleep timer. If you hit play again and start the sleep timer it would stop X minutes later.

If you are wondering if its still on.. click sleep again and it will prompt you if you want to cancel the sleep timer or not. Its not hard to tell if its active or not
