Hi Goulin,

I've had no luck getting the remote to wake up the PC - so if you've got it working, I'd love to know your settings for various things in more detail! Is your card (2000H) a PCI or PCI-e card? Any extra info you could give would be great!

Anyhow, a little bit of an update on where I'm at. Aside from not having the remote wake up the PC, I've configured all the PowerScheduler stuff and it all appears to be working OK (ie. standby when idle, wake up for recordings). I had some problems initially, but it turned out to be that my cordless mouse, which was setting on the TV cabinet, seemed to be sending "input" signals to MediaPortal even when I wasn't using it. I've moved it out of range now, and the standby / wake-up thing works sweet!

I think I will maybe grab the next SVN that's compiled over the weekend and install it sometime next week. With any luck it will fix the few DVD issues that I'd encountered and let me use MediaPortal for all my DVDs (I was thinking I'd need to use PowerDVD as an external player, since it seems to play all DVDs fine).

Cheers,
Craig

p.s. get back to me on the remote thing, Goulin, I'll be hanging out to hear what the story is .....!!!!
