Country:  |  Why Does MediaPortal Delay the Standby process ...... TV-Server Version: not used MediaPortal Version: 0.2.3.0 + latest SVN MediaPortal Skin: BlueTwo wide Windows Version: Windows XP Prof. SP2 CPU Type: AMD Athlon XP 2700+ HDD: Seagate 200GB ATA100 Memory: 768MB - DDR 333 (PC3200) Motherboard: Gigabyte 7VM400M-RZ Motherboard Chipset: VIA KM400 Motherboard Bios: Video Card: Gigabyte - Radeon 9550 Video Card Driver: ATI Radeon v7.3 Sound Card: On board VIA VT1617 Sound Card AC3: using 5.1 analog outputs Sound Card Driver: VIA Vinyl Audio v6.50a 1. TV Card: Dvico FusionHDTV DVB-T 1. TV Card Type: DVB-T 1. TV Card Driver: v 3.50.02 2. TV Card: DNTVLive! LP DVB-T 2. TV Card Type: DVB-T 2. TV Card Driver: v 2.0.0.4 MPEG2 Video Codec: Cyberlink PowerDVD 7 MPEG2 Audio Codec: MPA Satelite/CableTV Provider: none HTPC Case: custom built Cooling: custom built - super quiet Power Supply: custom built - 200W Remote: MCE - Australian version TV: Mitsubishi HC1100 DLP projector TV - HTPC Connection: D-sub (15 pin) This is a strange issue that I have only noticed in the past couple of months. I have 2 different PCs (they are entirely different hardware) that are dedicated to MediaPortal. Both of these PCs will normally take less than 2 seconds to go to STANDBY mode. But:- 1. If I have MediaPortal running, and I have been watching live TV, and I return to the home screen and then put the PC to standby, it will take from 20 to 40 seconds to complete the standby process ...  2. If I launch MediaPortal and do anything except watch live TV (I can listen to music, watch a DVD, watch a recording, etc.), return to the home screen and then put the PC to standby, it will take less than 2 seconds to complete the standby process ....  I have been trying to find out why watching live TV causes MediaPortal to then delay the standby process by 20 to 40 seconds. There is nothing in the MediaPortal.log file to indicate what the issue might be (the last entry is at the same time that I pressed the standby button - there are no entries during the delay period). Can someone give me a clue as to what might be causing this, or some pointers as to where I might look, or a tool that I could use to find out what Windows is doing for those 20 to 40 seconds?  in anticipation.EDIT:- I should add that this 20 to 40 second delay occurs on both MediaPortal PCs that have completely different DVB-T cards, so I would be surprised if it were to do with the manufactrer's BDA drivers?

Country:  | Only a guess, either Directx or graph not playing nicely and shutting down prior to standby quickly, like a game when you close\save, it takes ages before it does it. Still think we have some graph problems to overcome.
