    depends on how you want it to work. Do you want the screensaver to be off all the time, or just in fullscreen video?

    For what you want, you can go to powerscheduler in the plugins section and change the shutdown section to "None-or Windows built in" and then set the shutdown time to something very large. I think that will work, but you'll have to test.
    All screensavers are inactive when watching fullscreen video, but most people have it set to blank the screen when in menus for some time, to avoid damage to plasmas and the like.

    Use the attached files... execute them before and after MP ;)

    EDIT: You can also create a BAT file for executing these files and also MP itself

    you are right.. I spotted why it's not working. For what ever reason, the 3x recently added / watched for TV series, etc was killing it.. I've removed it for now and it's started working again. I'll have to dig a little deeper as to why it's happened all of a sudden.

    Thanks for the update on this. I should have searched before posting, always assume it is something I have done wrong.

    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...
