PC does not wake from stand-by for scheduled recordings (1 Viewer)

[TomG]

Hi all,

I'm new to MediaPortal. I'm using MediaPortal 1.2.3 on a Windows 7 x64 desktop (both for backend/server as front-end/client).

I'm experiencing problems with scheduled recordings who never wakes up the pc from stand-by. I've also installed the PowerScheduler++ plugin, but no solution so far.

Even when I choose in PowerScheduler++ to update the EPG on particular days and hour, while thick the checkbox "Wakeup the computer for EPG grabbing", the pc still won't wake from standby.

I have currently no other issues, but it's of course annoying I'm missing recordings because of stand-by related issues. When the pc is awake, all scheduled recordings take place as they should.

With stand-by, I mean the "Sleep" feature in Windows 7 where all is stored into the RAM and PC quickly wakes from stand-by. The thing that saves memory (suspend?) to disk and powers off the pc is not being used.

Is there a particular option I forgot, or what kind of explanantion would be the source for my problem?

thanks in advance.

Hi,

in you Windows energy options "Allow Wake Timer" has to be enabled. Eventually you'll have to enable a some wake on timer function (like "PME event wake up") in your BIOS too.
(Standby = Suspend; saving memory to diks and power off = hibernate)
