I cant connect to MPExtended unless the firewall is turned off. In settings there are already entries for MPextended.
EDIT: I dont know why but it works now.

Unfortunately the installer doesn't automatically setup the firewall correctly. You have to create an exception manually, see the wiki for details.

MP1 MP2 standby problem after reinstallation DE

I have also had this problem in the past. There are two components to this problem: Your internet router is pinging the HTPC at regular intervals in order to see if the HTPC is still present on the network. The network adapter in the HTPC has "Wake on Lan" enabled. So at the end of a recording, the HTPC transitions from away mode to...
