I have tried every trick I could think of to get the system to fully wake. Different methods of simulating keystrokes and mouse movements, requesting the screen by using SetThreadExecutionState() etc. Non of it did have any effect.

I even made an option to restart eHome or MediaPortal at automatic resumes which I did not do before. This also does not get the system to fully wake.

(you can this build here: http://www.downloadcounter.de/counter.pl?file=http://www.xs4all.nl/~hveijk/mst/files/mst0977t.zip&user=hveijk)

How does your system react when you close MediaPortal by hand before entering standby?
Have you tried the USBBIOSHACKS option?
What remote are you using?
Does it happen when you put the system standby from the MediaPortal menu, by pressing the power button of the remote or both?

Did some testing with this version.

The same issue is still there.

Have you tried the USBBIOSHACKS option?

Tested with it and there is a slight progress on the issue. I.e. now the system is not providing a signal to the screen when TVE3 resumes to record a show, but using the MCE remote buttons it's possible to trigger the system to enable the signal from video card (MST restarts MP at this point and TV shows the MP GUI correctly). Unfortunately this is ont a good sollution as 1) loading the MP takes some time and it would be better if the MP would be restarted on the same moment as the TVE3 starts it's recording 2) System might look to be hang for some users as the monitor / tv will show that is not receiving any signal and the PC's powerled is already on.

What remote are you using?

Microsoft MCE.

Does it happen when you put the system standby from the MediaPortal menu, by pressing the power button of the
remote or both?

No difference between those.

I'm still wondering why the MP is able to work without a black screen after resuming from S3 when the MST is not loaded. I.e. shouldn't the tve3 wake up cause similar issue to the MP without MST (as it's a scheduled wakeup and that shouldn't wake up the monitor?)? Or is this some conflict between the power scheduler in TVE3 and the MST?

just a little question, with this software can i wake up my pc from hibernate from the remote control ?

Thanks

It is not a receiver, but what it does is configure Windows to its good standby\hibernate config.

So if you have a remote that has the ability to put windows into standby, then it should work properly.

The ability to wake up via remote control (RC) is more likely to depend on the hardware than the software. Some motherboards have a jumper that has to be set to provide power to the RC-interface (usually IR or USB) during hibernation. A search of the forum will turn up threads with more details on this subject.

well, i put my pc to hibernate throught MediaPortal menu...so i think the remote doesn't have that hability...

but i'm gonna try...

 

[Paranoid Delusion]

Try in windows desktop, if it works there fine, it will work with MP.

If it is a remote that plugs into a tv card, then that may need some configuring, specs please.
