[QUOTE="son_t, post: 636066, member: 88173"] Well I downloaded the RC6 from this MediaPortal site, and installed it, and it isn't there as I have not touched the files by going in to plug-ins folders and moving them about! Anyway, this missing plug-in might be having an effect on Power Scheduler as now it fails to wake up the PC from standby to record.
