Description

Hi,

I have done a Zidoo activity where I need a delay of more than 20 secs to let my Zidoo media player start so I can after this set the input.

It seems that a delay superior of 20 seconds freeze the activity start and the only way to exit is by power off or restart the remote.

How to Reproduce

Create an activity with different entities :
(in my case Panasonic Tv, then go to HDMI 2, then my AVR, input to Zidoo, then Zidoo starts and then a delay of 30 secs before setting the Zidoo to input on Home Theater.

Launch the activity

When the delay of 30 secs arrives, the activity freeze and do nothing.

Expected behavior

The activity starts with the predefine settings.

System version

1.4.2

What part of the system affected by the problem?

Thanks for reporting!
Indeed, there's a hard limit of 30 seconds in the activity execution (log entry: started activity with timeout of 30s) and the individual delay steps are not accounted for.
I've also discovered some UI issues while testing this.
We'll fix this.

Release 1.4.3 increases the timeout from 30 to 60s as a quick "workaround". However, the UI might still show an error.
A real fix is in the works.

Where is this a couple of years later? Is the real fix still yet to be completed? I still hit the 60 seconds hard limit.

its been almost 2 years and still no fix for this issue? If this issue isn't fixed that will make this remote useless unless its the most basic tasks!! This needs to be addressed ASAP
