[QUOTE="craigparris1, post: 584860, member: 75254"] Hi there ajrstoke, Here's my understanding of how things work: 1. The PowerScheduler settings within TV-Server are effectively independent of the front-end client, so if the TV-Server determines that everything is "idle" as far as it's concerned, and it's OK to standby, then it will go into standby 2. In the TV-Server PowerScheduler settings, you can configure a list of "exception" processes that will stop TV-Server from putting the PC into standby. For example, if you added your browser's executable, or the executable for whatever game you want to play, then TV-Server will not go into standby if those processes are running (even if it thinks everything is OK for a standby) 3. I can't answer specifically about when you have network clients, but I'm imagine it would work essentially the same as a single-seat installation - that is, if the front end client is not specifically streaming anything from the TV-Server, then the TV-Server will consider itself "idle" (well, as long as it's not recording something) 4.
