Sorry Roger
You are correct and 180,000 was rejected by emplode. The validation does work correctly.

The fault I am reporting, is that even with 178,000 seconds entered into emplode, the player goes from standbye to power off after ~20 minutes.

There is a chance that this is due to a feature of HiJack that I also have installed. I will test this out tonight and let you know.

Thanks for your response
