[QUOTE="Taipan, post: 39270, member: 11681"] Yes, I do a similar thing with my power-amps.....but I have it tied to my PC Resuming and going to Standby mode :D I use [url=http://www.pvr-scheduler.de/]PVR Scheduler[/url] and [url=http://www.byremote.com.au/downloads/default.asp?SCLASS=UTILITIES]COMController[/url]. With PVR scheduler, I have configured it to run a script when the PC resumes from Standby, and this script uses COMController to send the "power-on" command via the serial port. PVR Scheduler also launches MediaPortal. Similarly, I have PVR Scheduler run a script just before the PC is put to Standby, which uses COMController to send the "power-off" command via the serial port. There is a 3rd option in PVR Scheduler that I use to keep the power-amps off when the PC is resumed for a scheduled event (like a TV recording or to grab the EPG data). It all works like a charm..... :) I guess you could do something similar using COMController, but tie it to the launching and exiting of MediaPortal...? [/QUOTE]
