I am an enthusiastic Mediaportal user, for about a month now. With help of this forum and the documentation on the WIKI i have mediaportal running according to my wishes. But there is one problem that remains, and that is that my HTPC doesn't go to hibernate after a recording has finished.

First of all, let me state this: When i am finished using mediaportal normally (e.g. watching TV/recordings/DVD/music etc.) i go into the home screen. Then after 3 minutes (which i have set in Power Scheduler) it goes in to hibernate perfectly.
When i start a recording manually and go back to the home screen, again when the recording has finished, 3 minutes later it goes into hibernate perfectly.
When i schedule a recording with the EPG, it goes into hibernate and it starts up at the correct time. Only to never go in hibernate again, and that aint good, off course.

When i look in the log (i have attached a recent one) i get the impression that power scheduler every time it wants to go to hibernate sees a new recording being planned. But that's not the case, off course. When i try it without new recordings being planned it does go into hibernate.

I have already done a fresh install of everything, and i have looked in the forums and documentation, but i can't find a solution.

I also want to give you my settings in Power Scheduler:
Time before recording starts: 1 minute (recommended)
Time after system going idle: 3 minutes (minimal recommended)
Shutdown mode : Hibernate (i've also tried none, and let Windows do the talking, no difference)

Forced Shutdown and extensive logging are activated.
I've tried different settings, so i tested with other timings (2/4, 2/5, 3/5) and with forced shutdown on and off. It doesn't make a difference.

In Control Panel of Windows i've activated hibernate, with a timing off never. I've tried with hibernate off in control panel, but als no difference.

I hope you guys don't recommend going to a SVN, because i am worried that then i may get other problems.

I hope someone can help me!!!

This is a known issue in 2.10 while it has been fixed in the latest SVN it made me go back to the 2.04 version.

I can highly recommend 2.04 it is quite stable and does what it does really well.

-But I must admit that every now and then I do upgrade to the lastes SVN for an hour or two to enjoy all the cool new stuff (but then it craches, cant hybernate or old functionality stops working and I go back to 2.04)

Here is hoping for a 2.11 stable sometime in the future - there has never been so many great new features in SVN that are not available in stable versions.

Well it's a pity because i liked the 0.2.1.0 version very well, but it seems i have two option; going back to a version i've never used (2.0.4) or going on the SVN wagon, but that scares me. Thanks for the info!!

I'm not running into this issue, and I have scheduled recordings in different ways: manual, every time on this channel... Maybe it's some particular schedule that causes this behaviour?

Recently I have started using PVR Scheduler. It takes care of waking up the computer and suspending it later, instead of relying on Power Scheduler. Maybe this program can help you better.

Solution found

I have now found, thanks to this forum and its users, that this problem is related to the 0.2.1.0 version. So i have now installed the latest SVN to try it out. For now, it's stable and i've only found one major bug. I hope it stays that way!!

When I come into big problems in the next few days, i will go back to the older, but stable 0.2.0.4 version!

Thanks for your comment!
