Hi there,
Sorry to double post on this question, but my question is lost under a different thread title (which no new people are reading) and so I am hoping there might be others who can help on this new thread.
I am having problems getting MP to go into standby or hibernate.
If I let powerscheduler do it, or even use the buttons at the top of the MP home screen, the TV server immediately stops but MP continues to run and then after about 20 seconds comes up with a message telling me "Connection to TV service lost". (note: if I use the "shutdown" or "reboot" options on the MP home screen, MP closes without problem instantly).
I have tried MPstandbyhandler and done the following:
- Run the "install.cmd" script.
- Reboot the Machine.
- Start MPstandbyHandlerGui.exe
- Added MediaPortalStop and set to "kill immediately" to "True".
- Checked the "Autostart Userspace Executable" checkbox in MPstandbyHandlerGui and restarted the system.
If I then run MP in a window (i.e. not full screen) and use the test suspend function in the MPstandbyhandlerGUI, it closes MP perfectly.
If I then run MP normally and let it hibernate from powerscheduler, I get the same error as described at the start of this post.
Am I doing something wrong with MPstandbyhandler, or do I have another problem? Any help would be very much appreciated.
I am running MP 1.0.2 with the TV server and MP client on the same PC with powerscheduler configured on the server and client. Also, normal windows hibernate is enabled and works fine when MP is not running.
Thanks in advance.

P.S. I am running windows XP SP3 and have also tried MCE Standby Tool (Slick Solutions - Home of the MCE Standby Tool (MST)), but with no success either.
