This is a pity, especially because it also is valid for all the other autoplay variants. Is it possible to evaluate the shutdown request from powerscheduler and then stop playback? Then this scenario would be possible:
turn on HTPC/MP and don't touch it any more (or HTPC silently starts due to a recording)
wait the intial timeout
autoplay starts music
after, say, 30 min (or at the end of the recording) playback stops again and the HTPC shuts down.

However this should not happen, when I started playback 'actively'. This leads me to the core question: Does MP know once playback has started, whether it was started by 'autoplay' or by 'user starting playback by any traditional, active way'? Only if this information is available it could be possible to set up the scenario described above.

If it is not possible it would be sad but not catastrophic. However I would then propose to alert users about the interferences with powerscheduler in a single-seat configuration.

kind regards from Stuttgart
