Download Version 1.4.0.1
This is the stable version of PowerScheduler++ designed for MediaPortal 1.4. There are legacy versions for MediaPortal 1.3 and MediaPortal 1.2.x on the PowerScheduler++ homepage.
There is also a special MP 1.4 version with PowerScheduler++ 1.4.0.1 integrated for testing in Area 51.
What is PowerScheduler++
The PowerScheduler++ plugin is a replacement for the PowerScheduler plugin that comes as part of MediaPortal. Compared to the original PowerScheduler plugin it provides easy configuration
What to do in case of errors
To give you support I need full logs. Make a reboot and start MP client with "Start -> All Programs -> Team MediaPortal -> Mediaportal -> MediaPortal Debug-Mode" and try to reproduce your problem. Then take the log files and upload them. Have a look here how to create logs.

What is PowerScheduler++
The PowerScheduler++ plugin is a replacement for the PowerScheduler plugin that comes as part of MediaPortal. Compared to the original PowerScheduler plugin it provides easy configuration
- In Plug&Play Mode all you have to do is to choose one of the four system profiles (HTPC, Desktop, Notebook, Server - the one fitting best is preselected) and set the desired sleep timeout. Everything else - including the Windows power options - is set automatically to some reasonable values by PowerScheduler++.
- In Expert Mode all options are available for the experienced user. You can use the Expert Mode to see in detail, what the Plug&Play Mode would configure and change it, if required.
- All Windows power settings are made automatically
- Client settings are automatically matched to server configuration on single-seat scenarios
- Integrated scheduler for system reboot
- Away mode is individually configurable for each standby handler (EPG, Network, Process, ...)
- Reboot, Network, Processes and Active Shares standby / wakeup settings are now available also for standalone clients.
- For the users experiencing problems with audio mute after wakeup or return from "Away mode" PowerScheduler++ now unmutes audio automatically if necessary.
- External commands can be executed on entering and leaving away mode
