Autostart MediaPortal on Windows startup

Having this problem with my HTPC, but not my office computer.

Using "Autostart MediaPortal on Windows startup" in configuration;

My TV does not display any information under TV screen.

Channel list is blank.

Can only select and change Channels using TV Guide.

When using remote with TV screen on full display, shows Channel number selected, but does not change to new channel.

If I start MediaPortal manually, system operates properly.

I have found that with MediaPortal SVN 08-09-2008 09 21 Rev19876, did not try MediaportalSVN 07-11-2008 10 18 Rev19603 in my HTPC, that the system is going in and out of S4 hibernation, for recording purposes, really well. Until this SVN this aspect had been a real disaster for my system, thanks for fixing this problem.

I hope it helps someone here arround.

I would like to see a possibility to allow MP & TVE3 to be stopped only after resuming has been done. At least for MP as otherwise its creating no video signal on some systems. I have had two PCs / MBs that have had annoying issue when it comes to TVE3 automatically waking up the PC for recording. If MP is closed before the S3 state is enabled

1) display drivers will disable the video output (unless MP is already running, something to do with DX)
2) resume S3 even comes only after the user presses a key on keyboard

as a result the display will stay black for remote control only users.

If i understood you right - you want to stop MP after wakeup from S3?
If i stop MP on my maschine before going into S3 and then press a button to wake up everything is fine. Maybe i didn't understand your problem.

The issue is pretty rare (depends on HW). But yes, I would like to be able to stop MP (and restart) after PC has woken up from S3.

Hi,
i'm trying to suspend my pc using mediaportal's buttons but with no success.

If i press those buttons (suspend or sleep), i get no effects.

Thank you for your great work.

Hi,

It seems to have come good, only installed this SVN into my HTPC a few of hours ago. Turned it back on and everything fine, have completed some scheduled recordings, in and out of hibernation, stopped and started HTPC a couple of times and correct information still showing. Also, it is functioning correctly, as far as channel changing is concerned.

By the way, the last viewed channel is not saved when setting PC to standby manually from MediaPortal home screen menu selection "sleep". But this is minor issue as compared to stability problems after resume (which are hopefully now solved).

Fixed already: 0001530: Settings arent saved when MP is restarted after resuming from S3/S4 - MediaPortal Bugtracker
