Allowed Standby Hours...Please explain this? - Page 2

OK, fair enough, I would could agree with that.

With SVN 19127 this worked fine.

Just installed the latest SVN 19158 last evening and the standby is being blocked for every hour even though the TVSETUP setting is default as 0 -24 .

The service has been stop/started and the pc has been rebooted .

2008-05-24 07:36:17.531250 [21]: PowerScheduler: lastUserTime: 00:40:10.7656 , True
2008-05-24 07:36:17.656250 [21]: PowerScheduler.NextWakeupTime: inspecting handler:GenericWakeupHandler time:31/12/9999 23:59:59
2008-05-24 07:36:18.046875 [21]: PowerScheduler.NextWakeupTime: inspecting handler

cheduledRecordingsHandler time:24/05/2008 11:59:00
2008-05-24 07:36:18.046875 [21]: PowerScheduler.DisAllowShutdown: not allowed hour for standby 7
2008-05-24 07:37:17.532208 [21]: PowerScheduler: Standby allowed until 0 o' clock

It is early in the morniing and my brain may not be working but isn't 0 and 24 actualy the same time (ok technicaly different days) on the clock .Which means the code will block every hour of the 24 hour day

Should the setting be 0 and 23 or 1 and 24 for the code to allow standby for every hour of the 24 hour day.

When changed to 1 - 24 and the service stop/started (needs this to initialize the setting) you do get a correct

2008-05-24 08:13:52.492625 [TVService]: PowerScheduler: Standby allowed until 0 o' clock
2008-05-24 08:13:52.498484 [TVService]: PowerScheduler: Standby allowed starting at 1 o' clock

It looks like there are three problems.

The default setting is wrong at 0 -24 and the code blocks all hours of the 24 hour clock.

Changes made to the settings aren't saved and/or actioned by powerschedular.

If you stop/start the service in VISTA32 and then return to the PS setting page the changes have reverted . (this worked on previous SVN)

A reboot seems to be the only way to set this PS setting in VISTA 32.

This is only because SVN has been build before my last needed patch for this

Just try the attached file please which allows to use the stored settings.

Spooky · 2008-05-24, 14:10

Huh, so right now, the setting will be stuck at 0 to 5 hours anyway without this update?

Juppe · 2008-05-25, 17:09

Why dont let the tv-server ping the clients and if one or more of them answer, dont let the server go into sleep?
Then you can do other things on the client, I do that on my clients, but with my own program, shouldn't that be a god thing?
I also have a program in my clients that starts the server if its sleeping, the program uses wake on lan feature.

How do you wake up your PCs from S3 with WOL? If you use S3 that is. Usually that's not possible.

Juppe · 2008-05-25, 21:22

I dont know if its S3 that I wake it up from, in config it says suspend.

[not bothering with the spec block 'cos it's not a support request]

I like this feature - it's better than having to fire up the setuptv tool and reconfigure powerscheduler if I decide the machine can switch itself off now (it's a single-seat installation, and I use the machine for plenty of other stuff)

It got me at first though, 'cos I'd like to allow standby between 23:00 and 08:00 - I set this to 23 for the first parameter, 8 for the second, and only figured out when I checked the logs that the first parameter has to be lower than the second. A little flexibility there would be useful.

Spooky · 2008-05-26, 15:21

Indeed. I also wanted to allow standby hours on one machine from 23:00 and 08:00, but right now it's not possible.
