Power Scheduler - Standby Despite Disk Activity? (1 Viewer)

[EViS]

What does Power Scheduler (under TV Configuration) define as an 'idle' system?

For example, when another computer on the LAN connects to one of the HTPC's (also a server) hard drives, the HTPC still hibernates despite one of the disks being active... Can this be overcome?

AW: Power Scheduler - Standby Despite Disk Activity?

Hi EViS,

Powerscheduler checks only for user activity on the client (media playing, keyboard, mouse), mediaportal server activity (recording, epg grabbing, defined processes, ...). If you check "Shutdown server after beeing idle xx minutes", mediaportal will suspend/hibernate the system if none of those is true, but regardless what the system is doing else (file sharing, cpu load, user activity on server, ...).
If you want to keep the system up if it is busy, you have to uncheck the "Shutdown server after beeing idle xx minutes". Instead you must onfigure your operating system to suspend/hibernate if idle ("power saving mode after xxx" in system power settings).

If you want the server to be up if someone is accessing it via LAN there is a option to disable standby if the LAN traffic is greater than a user set value. This is configured in the PowerScheduler plugin in the TV-server configuration.

I spotted this setting after posting . Will be testing it soon, at the moment I am having trouble with my system going to hibernation despite it being used locally (see here).
