[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1279676, member: 141969"] "TV Server" is the same for MP1 and MP2, but it is packaged differently, so you cannot use one with the other (i.e. you cannot use an MP1 client with an MP2 server, or vice versa). But the setup procedures and plugins are identical for MP1 and MP2. There are three common power states for Windows systems: [LIST] [*]Sleep [*]Hibernation [*]Shutdown [/LIST] "PowerScheduler" works only with sleep: [LIST] [*]If you manually shutdown your system, "PowerScheduler" [b]cannot wake it[/b] to perform a recording. [*]If you manually hibernate your system, "PowerScheduler" [b]can wake it[/b] to perform a recording, but "PowerScheduler" [b]cannot hibernate your system[/b] when it is idle. [/LIST] As you are a beginner, you should be using "Plug & Play" mode. To get this working, use the client that is on the same system as the server, and ensure that the other clients (if you have any) are shutdown. Select the "HTPC" profile. The default sleep timeout is 30 minutes, which means that the HTPC should transition to sleep after it has been idle for 30 minutes. "Idle" means that you are not using the system, and "TV Server" is not recording or grabbing the EPG. To speed-up testing, you might prefer to change the sleep timeout to a smaller value (5 minutes, perhaps). If the system does not transition to sleep, the following may be true: [LIST] [*]One of the devices on your system does not support this power state. To check this, try manually sleeping your system by using the "Start" button menu in the lower left corner. [*]Your system is busy doing something. I am not familiar with how the MP2 server works, so it might be busy. I am not sure how you check this. [/LIST] -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
