Hey,
How do you guy's manage you're power with media portal?
is there a possibly to let the system go in hibernation or standby and wake-up automaticly for recording?
I would like to test pvr-scheduler, but it looks like a dead project/
And i can't seem to find if it supports vista and 64-bit system's?

Hi stimpy182

I use the PowerScheduler plugin that now comes with the TV Server.

I believe that this is work in progress and may be further refined in future.

To use it, if a recording has been scheduled, you need to go to the home screen and stop live TV if it is on. The plugin will then hibernate (or standby, I guess, if that is what you have set) the PC after the amount of time set in the plugin preferences (the default is 5 minutes).

The PC will then wake up when the recording is due and shut down after it completes (after the recording padding time has elapsed).

With recent SVNs I have had it fail to shut down the PC once. I don't know if this was after a recording or after WebEPG ran to grab the EPG as both were early in the morning but it has worked fine since.
