[QUOTE="Benoire, post: 1013575, member: 121281"] Does anyone know why CEC isn't built in to commercial HTPC cards from AMD or nVidia? The Raspberry Pi has CEC and it seems so trivial. I'd actually pay a bit extra to get this stuff built in as the pulse-eight adapters cost me upwards of $50 NZD to purchase![DOUBLEPOST=1374097183][/DOUBLEPOST]@[URL='https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/members/tuomaa.56931/']Tuomaa[/URL] Haven't had chance to do some further testing but it appears that something is already active. I've not got the tray tools running but turning the TV on or off with the adapter connected actually turns the HTPC on and off. Only noticed it last night when I turned the tv off but left the program on pause to come back and find it had gone to sleep. It could be something running in the registry or bootup that is causing the issues and would explain the issues of the plugin crashing... I.e. if the machine is being woken up outside of MP and then the plugin calls the CEC commands it crashes. Are you able to code in error handling, i.e. should the machine be waking up prior to CEC being called by the plugin, not to do it? [/QUOTE]
