[QUOTE="ambstuc, post: 487994, member: 96358"] Hi, I have been looking around for days to try and configure my system the way I would expect a professional "Mediacenter" to work: [LIST] [*] The system wakes up either if there is a scheduled recording OR I press the power button on my remote [*] The system recognizes when I want to switch it off using the power button on the remote and * Only switches off/sleeps if there is a) no scheduled recording active or pending within the next few minutes * otherwise recognises that I want it to turn off and a) signals this (e.g. little symbol in the corner) b) switches the system off as soon as there is no active recording going on any more. [*] When the system wakes up it "knows" if this was for a scheduled recording or because I have pressed the power button [*] The system should "know" when there is a user in front of the television e.g. because the client has been used within a specified time, and I think if there has been no interaction for 2-3 hours could assume that it is safe to go to sleep without rudely interrupting an active video session (which happens to me if you used the powerscheduler, see also previous post...) [/LIST] Because of the architecture of separate server and client on the same machine this appears very difficult. I am not very good at programming and I do not think I would find the time to do it, but it appears to me that you would only need one flag e.g. "user_present" which gets set to true if a) power button on pressed b) interaction with client and set to false if a) no interaction for specfied time b) user pressed power off button. A tray application could e.g. check in regular intervals if a) server "active" (recording) and b) user_present=true and send the system to sleep if both are false... Any idea how this could be accomplished? I have not managed to achieve a behaiour like this with powerscheduler and others.... Thanks.
