MediaPortal goes to sleep even when recording (1 Viewer)

[Sohvaperuna]

Hi,

MediaPortal wakes up nicely to start recording, but then during recording, it goes back to sleep.

I have configured PowerScheduler both for Server and Client. And both are running in same machine.
Should I disable Client's PowerScheduler completely? I think both were configured to go to sleep after 21 min.

Log attached. MediaPortal was supposed to record

Muodin Huipulle 20:00 - 21:00
Frendit 20:00 - 20:30
Simpsonit 20:30 - 21:00

Br,

And I should probably add that I am using Windows 7

I have never used PowerScheduler but I don't think having it enabled on both sides is smart as the client will be idle when the TV server is recording, so try having it enabled in TV Server only.

both plugins have to be enabled and they should be configured identically.
windows idle timer has to be disabled...

I think your machine goes into standby not through PowerSchedule Plugin but something else.

1. control panel -> power management -> disable option "standby after XY minutes", set to never
2. open Windows Event Viewer (startmenu->type in event viewer) and look through the logs, you will see what sends your machine into standby (under Windows Protocols / System / logs of "KernelPower" and "Power Troubleshooter")

type in event viewer

on non-english systems try: eventvwr

on my system it is "Ereignisanzeige" >I just wanted to give a hint, everybody must work out thing himself

I totally agree, but in fact eventvwr.exe should be international. so one can find it even without thinking .

I configured Client's PowerScheduler so that it does not go to sleep at all. It seems to fix the problem.. But I think then I got a problem that computer went to sleep while I was watching recording..

I have disabled those...

I'll check Tapahtumienvalvonta once I know what actually happened during the day.. Anyway this is not anymore the problem, I
disabled PowerScheduler from client, so this does not happen anymore. Instead I got new problems..

when configured correctly, powerscheduler won't shutdown your system when mp is not in home-window.
