I just switched to MP 1 RC1 from 0.2.3.0 and I am having trouble getting Powerscheduler to work and have my system enter standby. It worked wonderfully in 0.2.3.0, I pushed the power button and it would enter/wake up from standby. I can't seem to get that to work right in this new Client/Server Single Seat setup?

Any ideas on how to go about it and get this working?

With the TV-Server/Client mode you must activate in the MP-Configuration the "Powerscheduler Client Plugin" and disable the "Powerscheduler".

In the TV-Server Configuration you must activate the "Powerscheduler" plugin.

I think thats what I did but it would not go into standby. What settings do you have set in each of the two plugins.

 

[chrisonline]

In the MP-Config under Plugins --> Powerscheduler Client Plugin:
Set the "shutdown mode" to Hibernate or Standby and set the "shutdown idle timeout" to for example 20 minutes.

In the TV-Server-Config under Plugins --> Powerscheduler:
Enable directly on "Plugins" the "Powerscheduler".
Click on "Powerscheduler" under "Plugins".
Set time on "Shutdown server after beeing idle" for example 20 minutes.
Set "Wakeup server for various wakeup events".

Thanks for the reply. For the most part I have it working what is happening and is rather annoying is when I am testing it through the night for stability. I am setting recordings and spacing them out with breaks inbetween. In the morning I am checking to see if the HTPC is in standby, that it wakes up and that all my recordings worked. The recordings work which is the main thing but the standby seems to be strange, the HTPC will seemingly wake up (lights, fans etc) but I am getting no video or audio out. I have to reset the HTPC and it reboots, goes straight to Media Portal and everything I wanted to record it there.

I have tried to get video back using the remote, USB Keyboard and USB Mouse, nothing will bring it out. I am usually pretty rushed in the mornings so I will look at windows error logs later when I get a chance.
