Hi,
I have a written a small utility for self use that is capable of performing the following: I use it in conjunction with Powerscheduler.
Start/Stop programs on Win Startup/Shutdown/Restart/Hibernate/Standby
Restart MediaPortal on Resume from Hibernate / Close MP before Hibernate and restart after
Close/Restart MP before scheduled programs (option)
Run Multiple scheduled items (such as EPG Grab) with user defined timeout or scheduled reccording based timeout:
IE run a schedule (backup) with a window of 2 hours defined. if 2 hours are not available before next recroding is deu to start the program aborts schedule (backup) until next avavailable 2 hour window.
Or start scheduled item with options to cancel xxx minutes before next scheduled recording. A typical option for this second mode would be to continually defrag your HDD whilst the computer is in down mode, with the aim to hopefully keep it is a reasonable state of defrag.
There are multiple other items on the drawing board and I would welcome any suggested features. My real question is, there are a few other programs out there that cover this area, do we really need another one or should I leave this specific to my own needs.
