Think I got it:

I could try to make some "quick hack" for PS++ to interpret the ...\For The Record\ConnectionProfiles.config" file to integrate the PS++ client plugin and ForThe Record. But I did some research in the FTR forums and always found the statement: "disable PowerScheduler". So before I begin the work, I would really like to have some feedback of a FTR developer, that I am on the right way or that there are good reasons why FTR and PS++ cannot exist together on one system.

Hello,

i just updates to MP 1.2.3 and PS++ 1.2.3.3.
The new PS++ config options don't offer the shutdown to S5 ( Soft Off) any more.
I did not find any hints regarding this in the changelogs.

Why way this option removed? I liked it.
Can i stil use the older vrsion with MP 1.2.3?
I which PS++ version was the Shutdown to S5 dropped?

Hi there,

I have a rather annoying issue...

I have PS++ configured to wake and perform reboots, but the OS bugchecks/reports a crash when the reboot happens.

No errors are generated in MePo, the logs look fine (I will post later), but the Windows event log reports a crash and there is a "recovered from crash window" on restart.

I believe the bugcheck refers to USB (never easy to pinpoint), but if I perform a reboot from within MePo, or the Start Menu, or the commandline it reboots fine.

What method/call for reboot/shutdown are you using? (I know from in the past with VB development I did, I had issues with certain types of system call to shutdown)

Thanks,

J.

+1 to add this feature again - ps++ client, please.

The feature was dropped because it is not compatible with the IPowerSettings interface definition, which is not mine but a MP provided one. I removed it with the 1.2.3.0 version of PS++. With MP 1.2.3 (but not with MP 1.3) you can also use the old stable version 1.2.2.1 which can be found on the homepage.

Hi michael_t,

where i can find the source code of ps++?

One improvement suggestion, if this is possible.
If i shutdown / sleep / close MP on a client, a signal will sent to the tvserver. Then TvServer checks if there are any jobs still to do, otherwise it will go to sleep / away mode. So the TvServer will only be online if its really needed and must not wait for the configured sleep time.

Is this perhaps possible?

Hi Scrounger,

What happens about multiple clients? or "singleseat" server and remote clients in your scenario?

Why not set the sleep timeout to be just slightly longer than the heartbeat interval?
