I have created a small application to simulate mouse moving. Combine it with a sheduled task, wich starts after resume.

Thanks but how do we run this? I recall looking at Task Scheduler before and being unable to find a "On Resume" trigger. I think PS or PS++ used to have a way to run a program on resume but all I see now is "Run command on System power state change".

Looking at some old scripts, would this work, saved in a file MouseMove.bat and pointed to in the above setting?

if "%1" == "wakeup" goto OnWakeUp
goto Done
 
:OnWakeUp
C:\Tools\MouseMove.exe
 
goto Done
 
:Done

That's the format I had a script in to stop and restart the TV Service but I don't recall if it ever actually worked or if I had to use something else instead. I no longer need to do that with my current tuner, so haven't used it in a while.

This should work also.
The event trigger in task planer is “Power-Troubleshooter” with event ID 1.

Ah thanks, I'll try that if my script doesn't work then.

Hi.
Thanks, will try that too. But for now I'm doing a complete restart of HTPC after resume. This solves every problem one could get due to standby issues. And since using this, all is reliable 100%... Just add this batch to Powershedulers "run task before/after resume" and there you go... The resume last for about one minute (a bit longer as normal) but all drivers, services, devices, memory,... are fresh and clean...

IF "%1" == "" exit
if %1==wakeup goto wakeup
exit
:wakeup   
shutdown /r /t 0
exit

Hello, just wondering if there is a way to use PowerScheduler++ to prevent my HTPC going to sleep when MediaPortal is open?

Adding MediaPortal.exe to 'Processes which should prevent standby' doesn't work.

Thanks!

HI.

Adding MediaPortal.exe to 'Processes which should prevent standby' doesn't work.

I have it working exactly this way. And this since years without a single issue...

Oh! Wonder why it's not working for me then... hmm.

Which version of PowerScheduler++ are you using, and is there any other secret settings that I may have missed?

I am using Windows 7 32 bit / MediaPortal 1.3.0 alpha / PS 1.2.3.4

Hi.
This is working with every PS Version I can imagine... No matter if it's PS or PS++ and with all MP Versions I've used over the years now...
Try to run MP in windowed mode, then start SetupTV and make a screenshot from the PS++ Setup- Page. There should be something written like "prcesses preventing standbyetupTV,MediaPortal". Maybe you need to change to expert mode first. (but not sure)....

Thanks Lehmden - I have sorted it, may have been a little case of user error

I had typed in MediaPortal.exe into the box that says 'processes which should prevent standby' - this didn't work.

With MediaPortal open in windowed mode, I then clicked the select process option in the PS++ config, and then the MediaPortal process from the drop down list, and it seems to have done the trick
