    What works

    up/down left/right arrow keys and ok, volume up/down Mute, numbers 1-9, clear and enter, pc power/hibernate.

    What does not

    Record, stop, pause, play, back, i (more), green button Channel up/down, recorded TV, Guide, Live TV, DVD menu and possibly 1-4 other buttons.

    This is exactely what I experienced earlier.

    Should we post on testteam-mediaportal?

    So is this bug now confirmed???

    I also had the black screen problem a couple of times. I think it's something to do with a possible bug in MP's screen saver timeout code. I have the MP screen saver enbabled in my config and I'm not using the windows screen saver.

    Na don't use screensavers, so that is not the issue.
    This is something that has only occured recently, so its either a MP coding issue or one of MS updates that is screwing things up.
    I'm sure the Dev's will try and sort out with the right information, will read some logs and see if anything abnormal worth posting.

    I can confirm this - I didn't have this problem before 0.2.0.0/0.2.0.2 (not sure about this because I went from RC2 to 0.2.0.2); but now, after a wakeup from hibernation, the buttons on my MCE remote don't work except for the system wide keys like the arrow buttons.
    The automatic re-start of MP after wakeup (done via a batch file) doesn't help, but another manual restart of the program solves the issue temporally.

    So what's to do?

    Everything was ok in RC4 That i was running, and only seemed to occur after 0.2 installed on reformatted setup.
    Many users and not that many people reporting this behaviour, which is a bit strange.
    Would really appreciate some people running 0.2.0.2 who can use there remotes (microsoft) to pop in and out of hibernate, with MP running in fullscreen TV mode, (maybe still be unique to a group of people systems)
    and just say they can with no problems.

    Thanks

    Maybe some users just have not noticed this problem. When MP doesn't respond to their remote, they just think "okay, so MP is freezed again" and restart it. I thought so myself - until I found this thread an realized it's a remote control issue...

    Hi,
    I don't have this problem at all, 2 system one with original MCE & one with a Hauppauge "MCE" remote & both system (remotes) works after Suspend or Hibernate with MP 0.2.0.0 + MP 0.2.0.2 (update).

    I have enabled power to the usb port on the motherboard (jumper setting) & running Windows MCE with all patches.

    Those times I have had problems with the remote it is usually something wrong in the setup & a clean MP install has been necessary, but this shouldn't be the problem here since you all have a clean MP 0.2.0.0 + update 0.2.0.2

    Regards
    Roy

    Hi ronilse

    Thanks for confirming it works on your MCE system, could someone please post if the have standby/hibernate from any MP screen working on a XP home/pro setup, as if this is not a problem with MP, then it may be an ms update that has caused this behaviour (remember mce get some different updates from xp).

    Appreciated.
