SMPlayer Support Forum

Is here in SM any possibilty to shut down PC after watching movie? I was looking among properties and I can not find it.

No, there is no option for that.

I see. Do you plan this feature in the future? It is useful I think

Unless someone else sends a patch which implements it, no.

This would be also a great improvement in this program for me. Often watching movies before sleeping.
Actually this is one of the first features that I'm looking for when choosing a right player for me. SMPlayer is unfortunately having all the important features apart from this one..
Hope this will change soon!
Cheers!

So... KMPlayer,PotPlayer, GOM Player, Media Player Classic are stupid for having this option, and you are smart not having it???
Why you don't just make it? It's a basic thing...

It's not so easy as it seems. SMPlayer runs in linux and windows and then this option should be implemented on both operating systems, which will require different code. And in linux a regular application doesn't have permission to turn off the computer.

If you could detect whether a Linux distro was using ConsoleKit or systemd, then shutting down as a user should be possible. I forgot the ConsoleKit commands (though I remember them being long) and for systemd you can simply use systemctl poweroff. And if neither is detected then simply disable the option for shutdown.

Edit: or perhaps you can let people enter a custom command. Some people may have removed the password require for the shutdown command and wish to use that.

For example qBitTorrent is able to shutdown Linux after downloads completes, why SMPlayer could do it to?
