[QUOTE="wawa79, post: 1039182, member: 85529"] Hello, I was really concerned by this issue for years! Your explanations here let me understand the Win 7 logic about away-mode! To exit the 'away-mode', Win 7 needs activity from a HID-compliant device. I just noticed Windows exits away-mode when connecting my Htpc from Ultra-VNC (so without HID hardware) so there should be a way to emulate it. I started looking for a way to trigger such a low-level keyboard keypress: I found that Python piece of code to include as an Eventghost Python script action: [url]http://noabsolutetruths.com/2010/05/19/keyboard-event-generation-in-eventghost[/url] Just add at the end outputtext("f") to simulate a clik on key "F" of the keyboard. Make this action triggered by the remote command that starts MP and that's it! No more blank screen or missing audio on resume, no more CPU left in power-saving mode and reduce performance. Yeahh! Thank you and I hope this helps also! [/QUOTE]
