[QUOTE="nickotron, post: 417879, member: 69131"] For the record, I've coded a couple of other variants of PowerScheduler, based on JBravos example of the network version. The first pinged an IP address (my network music player) and prevented shutdown if that was turned on. This meant my PC (music server) remained on, even if the streamed music had stopped at the end of an album. When I was done with music, I powered off the player, leaving the PC free to shutdown. Recently I stopped using my network player, and instead play direct from my PC via a [URL="https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/support-123/philips-srm7500-rf-mce-remote-41818/"]Philips SRM7500[/URL] remote (don't need the TV on to select music). This time I modified PowerScheduler to prevent shutdown if the serial port CTS line is held high, and I drive this off a small 9v power supply plugged into the switched output of my amp with a couple of resistors in the DB9 case. If anyone is interested in the code or simple circuit diagram for the latter let me know. I never finished and released the first ping version as I'd only hardcoded my player's IP address, as I couldn't find an obvious IP address control to use - can anyone point me to one? Thanks. N.
