I scheduled MediaPortal to record "That 70's Show" at 2:30? am in the morning. But this morning when I woke up and opened MediaPortal nothing was recorded.

Yes. I have it set to go to standby after 20 minutes of inactivity. I'm using Windows XP 32bit.

No it's not. Since it's not activated by default I decided to leave it as is. I was trying to get everything working properly before I started activating any plugins for troubleshooting purposes.

So all I have to do is enable it in the plugin section and that would wake the pc up for recordings?

This is the part that has me confused:
Code:
Enable both shutdown and wakeup in the General section to globally enable both features. If you disable any of these options, it will be disabled for the MediaPortal client as well (only applicable for single seat installations)

Of course I would enable wake up to avoid it not waking up. But what about the shutdown part. I already have Windows go into standby after 20 minutes of inactivity.

One last thing. Once I schedule a recording. Does MediaPortal need to be running for PowerScheduler to wake up the pc from standby to record? Since this pc runs as a server. I rarely have MediaPortal open.

    Nope, not needed. As long as the TvService is running it will record.

    I did a check of MP 1.36 x64 on Win11 and I can confirm, that the TV server correctly detects running MediaPortal.exe process.

    It is present, but not with that name. It is called Scheduler, viz: Interesting. I had never noticed that when the "command" is "ACTION", the "cmdproperty" is the actual window id, but it makes sense that it is. Try this for yourself. First backup your working profile for the remote, then in the "Mapping" panel make a change to...

    I meant use MP client to try to spot how it's requesting streams for specific channels and then try to do the same with VLC. TV Server development looks dead so I'm afraid you're going to have to figure that out by yourself if it's even possible.
