[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1226849, member: 141969"] There is some variation in the behaviour of TVs that may affect this. With my old Toshiba TV (dating from 2006), when I switched it to standby it would break the HDMI connection. This resulted in the display device disappearing from Windows device table. It also resulted in WMC subsequently waking with the wrong screen resolution, if it had previously woken for an unattended recording. :( (With no screen to query to determine the screen resolution, WMC used an inappropriate default resolution which sometimes persisted across subsequent wakes.) My current Sony TV (dating from 2014) does not break the HDMI connection when switched to standby, and so it remains present in the Windows device table. This is based on the output from the DEVCON command. I don't know whether there is some other query that could be used to determine that the TV is "connected but in a low-power state" (is that possible over HDMI?) I just tried switching the TV off whilst watching live TV and with "Stop playback on removal of an audio renderer" enabled, and indeed the video continued playing (i.e. MP 1.12 did not detect removal of the audio renderer). -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
