TV Server (MP single seat installation) is configured to shutdown server after being idle for 5 minutes.
Under "processes which can prevent standby" i have added "calc.exe".
If i do something other than running MediaPortal, e.g. playing a game,
i first start the calculator to prevent TV Server to go into standby.
If i exit the calculator some time later, the machine is going immediately into standby!
I would expect, that if a preventing process is running, the being "idle timer" value would be
held on 5 minutes and would count down only if the TV Server is idle and(!) "calc.exe" is closed.
I think this was working as described with XP, but with VISTA it seems that the "idle timer"
counts down to zero if TV Server is idle (without taking care about calc.exe)
and if calc.exe will be closed, standby will be initiated immediately because the timer is 0.
Is this a bug?
Or any ideas to solve this problem?
