[QUOTE="SVoyager, post: 1228087, member: 136983"] Hello, A question about scheduled recordings. I am trying to optimise things a little bit and found that my tvserver would wakeup quite a few times every day. (running with clients on the network and a NAS with the TVserver, happauge colossus for capture etc.) It appears to be waking up for planned recordings of some series but I already have the episodes it is currently airing so it wakes for nothing and shutsdown afterwards. When I am actively watching TV, I wll get a warning that it is about to start recording something but then it doesn't since it figures out that it already have the episode saved. So since the server is able to figure out not to record something because it already has it, why not do that in advance and just not wake the server for no reason or not send any warning to the user that it is about to start to record something. Is it possible to have this? is this some wrong configuration on my part? I am using schedulesdirect for the tv guide and when I do recordings, I select "record everytime on this channel". When I look at my server's wakeup logs, I see it waking up quite a few times every day. In the attached screenshot, all the wake logs which are at 57 minutes (ex: 2:57:09) are from the tvservice.exe and appears to be scheduled recordings (but who are aborted since I already have the episodes). I am concerned with wear on the NAS's drives because eventually after so many spinups, those drives will prematurely fail. I could also just keep the system from shutting down but if I can optimise power savings, all for the better! Any hints as to solutions for this? Is this something that could be implemented in future versions of MP? Thanks in advance!! [/QUOTE]
