What would be a nice feature working be the home screen to show what MP is currently recording. When my PC wakes up to record a program I would like it to show me what's currently be recorded.

Hmm... the home screen would get a bit crowded once you have 2 or more cards recording at the same time...

You can always go to My TV - Recordings to see I guess.

    Hi,

    this was already possible in earlier version of MP. I do not know why it has gone. It is only some sort of a skinning implementation.
    But samuel could be right, that it may be to much information in a multituner environment.

    I personal would like to see a red spot, when MP is recording. :)

    Flip.

    I was thinking more along the lines of maybe a scrolling message at the bottom of the menu screen... that way it could read something like "Card 1 (or whatever the friendly name of the card is) - Recording 'EastEnders'... Card 2 - Recording 'blah blah'... " etc.
    Perhaps it could also be configurable to the type of information you as an individual wants to display. For example, perhaps the time the recording started and the time it end etc.
    My main reason for thinking this would be a nice feature was that over the weekend, I finally got my PC to go into and come out of standby to record. But I couldn't remember for the life of me what I had scheduled, so a quick reminder on the main screen would of been nice!

    That sounds like a good idea. I'll see if I can add it to my LCD plugin that I'm writing. Then when the PC wakes up the LCD would display this information. Not sure if it's possible, but I can try...

    I guess it must be possible as MP must know what it's recording (probably by looking in the TV guide and seeing if a stream is being recorded I am guessing). That would be good for people with LCDs (I don't currently have one on the PC I am using) - hopefully the guys/someone will also try to implement something similar to this for those of us who don't have LCDs on the main menu (optional plug-in maybe so those who don't want to see that information don't have to?).

    Sounds cool! Can't wait for your plugin!

    I uninstalled MP, made sure no sub folders were left n any programmes folders, changed the computer name, rebooted, installed MP and set logs and rebooted and ran TVServer. Didn't do anything in regard to S Loopback adapter. I've been using NextPvr since the problem became insurmountable. Only reason it's not a good long term...

    MP1 MP2 Odd Standby issue DE
    Since I played around with all the settings as per the previous posts and despite putting everything back to how it was, as far as I can tell, now when my HTPC wakes up to make a recording it no longer does so in away mode. I will probably do a restore from a backup in the hope that that will resolve the issue.:mad:

    Good. I am pleased that that is now working for you. :) If you have ever looked at MP debug log files, you may have noticed that apparent errors are not rare, but these are "errors" that do not affect the functioning of the product. (It is not desirable to have these errors in the log file, as it misleads users, testers, and...
