Hey @michael_t, I am using the 1.2.3.7 and system powers up pretty often for no reason. Logs from last night attached, there was no schedule or anything else, only the reboot at 00:00 is correct imho. Do you have an idea? My setup:

- no wakeup for EPG-Grab
- reboot monday 00:00
- powerscheduler force system to s3

Thanks for having a look

The problrm you are struggling with has nothing to do with the PS++plugin. You will have the same problems without it.

No, but there might be many reasons (network, scheduled tasks, ...). You have to look at your system log to see why the system woke up at those times.

Thanks for your fast reply. Will check that. First thing will be looking in network adapter properties...

Das System wurde aus dem Energiesparmodus reaktiviert.

Eindeutige Fehlerquelle. Wobei ich das schon auf "nur Magic-Packets" umgestellt habe.

EDIT: Aber in den Details war noch "Wake on Pattern Match" enabled. Jetzt mal disabled und schauen, was passiert.

Hi michael_t,
i just want to say "Thanks" for making the legacy settings available in configuration, i know i have nerved you with that thing.

I'm having a problem trying to restart MediaPortal using a VB.NET program run via PS++. Basically, if the argument "wakeup" is passed, then the program does this (simplified):

'Kill MP
For Each MP As Process In System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName("MediaPortal")
   MP.Kill()
   MP.WaitForExit(5000)
Next
 
'Stop TV Service
For Each TVService As Process In System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName("TvService")
   TVService.Kill()
   TVService.WaitForExit(5000)
Next
			
'Start TV Service
Dim myService As ServiceController = (From svc In ServiceController.GetServices() Where svc.ServiceName = "TVService").ToArray()(0)
myService.Start()
myService.WaitForStatus(ServiceControllerStatus.Running, New TimeSpan(0, 0, 10))
 
'Start MP
Dim p As New ProcessStartInfo
p.FileName = "C:\Program Files (x86)\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\MediaPortal.exe"
Process.Start(p)

Everything works fine up until starting MediaPortal. Every time it gets to this point, it launches MediaPortal (and it appears in Task Manager) but nothing appears on the screen. The logs show this:

D3D: Exception: Generic application error.

The weird thing is:

• Even if I start a batch file that launches MediaPortal instead of launching MediaPortal directly, the same thing happens.
• The code above for starting MediaPortal works fine when run directly, rather than via PS++.
• If I just remove the last bit of code above that starts MediaPortal, and instead launch MediaPortal manually after the TV Service has restarted, it opens fine.

So basically it looks to be something related to the fact that my VB.NET program is being launched from PS++. Could it be a permissions issue or something?

So...has anyone managed to restart MediaPortal using a batch script or anything run from PS++?

indeed there was an issue and thats what i was hoping to get some help with
However after a lot of research, the following may be of use to some with a similar issue where by the power request showed none, and yet my machine refused to sleep. I have now discovered that my issue was caused by google chrome, in the settings menu and under advanced, there is a setting ticked to `continue running background apps when google chrome is closed` i presume this is for cloud printing etc, now i have unticked this my machine seems to be sleeping as expected.

I will now give this plugin another go and see what results i have and if i can make it reliable for my main machine.
