Keyboard shortcut to start TV? (1 Viewer)

[HakanThn]

Is there a way to start My TV in MP with keyboard shortcuts?

I want to use it to control stand by / startup with my iMON + Harmony remote control:
- System standby (S3) is triggered by Powerscheduler when MP is in home screen and TV stream is off. I can control this from the remote by assigning a macro that gives the keystrokes "H" and "B" (than standby occurs after minimum 2 minutes). It seems that putting system in standby by other means than powerscheduler might lead to problems with scheduled recordings when you´re using Vista?

- System wake up is triggered by the remote/iMON activating the power button. Here I want to add a keyboard macro that starts MyTV in MP - to prevent powerscheduler from going in standby again after 2 minutes. I tried Autostart plugin, but that will start TV every time, even when powerscheduler starts the system for a timed recording. I need a way to start TV only when I start the system from my remote...

Any ideas, or other ways to solve the standby / wake up functionality?

How to power on/off with iMON and Harmony remote

Solved my problem:
Power off:
- Created a keyboard shortcut in MP that exits MP
- Linked an IR command to that keyboard shortcut in iMON manager
- Programmed Harmony to use that IR command to shut off computer
- MP Powerscheduler programmed to put computer in standby after 2 minutes

Power on:
- Using the "case power button" function of iMON
- Linked iMON "quicklaunch" feature to MP
- Programmed Harmony to send an IR command to quicklaunch MP in the power on sequence
- Using "Autostart" plugin in MP to autostart TV module, that way Powerscheduler will not put in standby

This way powerscheduler takes care of all standby actions, and all scheduled recordings work as they should.
