hi,

my MP often doesnt shut down (hibernate). Usually after a clean reboot of the system and MP, the shutdown works for 1 or 2 times, but then it doesnt anymore. Most of the time restarting MP without rebooting XP helps to make shutdown work again. As you can see in the attached logs a ShutDown event is created, but never happens.

Code:

2007-11-14 00:25:15.437500 [Info.][MPMain]: PowerScheduler.SetShutDown: Next ShutDown in 6 minutes -> 00:31:15

Any help on that? Could it be an issue of my system/hardware? How do I investigate this further? Any help is appreciated on that!

Mine has started having the same problem, but only since installing 0.2.3.0 "stable" release. It was fine with RC3.

I'm pretty sure I haven't changed anything apart from uninstalling RC3 and installing the new release. If I hibernate the system manually it doesn't restart for recordings, so if I know there's something to record I just reboot the system and leave it to shut itself down, so it's not the end of the world, but still quite strange.

If anybody knows a reason for this it would be cool. I don't really know how PowerScheduler works, so I don't know if it's that it thinks MP isn't idle or if it's just not working at all. It does seem like something broke when I installed the new version though.

Oh I didnt notice the final version yet. I'll give it a try.

RobNorthcott · 2007-11-18, 15:57

Good luck with that. Mine actually worked fine with RC3 and seems to have broken during installing the new release. Strange.

Is it fixed and what did it would be nice to know.

RobNorthcott · 2007-11-18, 16:31

I'm already using the standby tool. It's always been a bit unreliable shutting down and restarting but would only fail very occasionally - since installing the new release a couple of days ago it's been much worse. I'm not saying the new release is the problem, but it seems that something happened during uninstalling and reinstalling MP that PowerScheduler doesn't like.

Weirdly, since I made that last post my MP machine has behaved perfectly - going in and out of hibernation on its own a few times last night and all worked fine.

So it seems the way to fix it is to post a message on this forum about it not working
