[QUOTE="nfox, post: 1157404, member: 24296"] Wow, here's a blast from the past! It's made me realise how long I've been using MP. A big thanks to all involved! You don't say if you are using a Harmony remote or not. The Harmony configuration app allows you to set up multiple commands to be sent for one button. (It used to just be available for Power On/Off, but I believe you can set up a macro for all buttons now). So I set up my Harmony to send different command for Power On and Power Off - Power On is, in my case, PowerToggle, but use whatever command turns your PC on. For Power Off I set the Haromony to send two commands: the first command takes MP back to the home screen (MediaCenter in my setup, because I am emulating an MCE remote); the second command is simply Stop, which of course stops whatever is playing. At this point MP should idle to sleep. I notice I put a 300ms delay between those commands, but I honestly can't remember if that was necessary, or if I was just being careful. If you are using a Harmony you can open the config app, select "Devices", select your HTPC and click on "Change Device Settings". Then select "Power Settings" and press Next. This will take you through the process. If you are not using a Harmony, then I don't know how, or even if you can. Hope that helps! [/QUOTE]
