Generally standby is working well on My Mp 1.32 x64 pre set up. I just have one issue, which was also present on earlier x86 versions, when a recording is in progress and I press the power button on the remote the PC goes into away mode as expected (AVR and TV go into standby) and the PC continues to run making the recording however even after the recording has completed and the Windows idle timeout setting of 45 mins has been exceeded the PC remains running and never goes into standby, it will still be running next day but pressing the standby button on my remote at this point puts it straight to sleep, I have never been able to identify anything that is preventing sleep in powercfg. No problem if I schedule a recording for later and then put it to sleep, it will wake up, make the recording and go back into full standby and outside of recordings it goes to sleep and wakes up as expected on the command of the remote.
I have a Pulse 8 CEC dongle installed on the HDMI and use the CEC Remote plugin to put the my AVR and TV (the only display) into standby in conjunction with the MP HTPC. In windows I use the "High Performance" power plan with "Turn off Display" set to never and "Put Computer to Sleep" set for 45 minutes, I use the MP1 screensaver set for 5 minutes.
Any ideas on what I can do to fix this would be very welcome.
