I loaded Media Monkey for Android 1.1.3.0529 on my LG G3 (LGLS990) device which runs Android 5.0.1. All appears to be fine, but I had a question about the Sleep Timer implementation as it relates to connected Bluetooth devices. The use case is I have MMA running and I connect the LG G3 to my Klipsch KMC 3 via Bluetooth. The connection is fine. I set the Sleep Timer for 30 minutes. The music on the device stops after 30 minutes, but my Klipsch speaker is still powered on after many hours. It has an Auto-Shut Off feature after 30 minutes so my expectation here would be to have MMA stop playing music after 30 minutes, disconnect from the Klipsch device, and it too would power down automatically in due course. That is not the observed behavior however. The Klipsch device remains on until I shut it off. I am wondering if that is due to the bluetooth connection being maintained by MMA which keeps the Klipsch in a 'Ready' state and does not allow it to power down? Sometimes I use another player called PowerAmp and it too has a Sleep Timer, but the difference with respect to this specific feature with the Sleep Timer is that once it stops playing music, the Klipsch speaker turns off after 30 minutes.
This is not a show stopper, but just something I observed, and wanted to have commented on by someone in the know. Thank You.
