PowerScheduler++ 1.4.0.x - Stable versions for MediaPortal 1.4 (4 Viewers)

[TiboTv]

Nice to know that I'm not alone lol!
As I have 3 clients running at home, all medias are centralized on a shared network disk which need only 10watts and with this configuration I only need the tv server on when watching tv (about 150w*7hours a day could be saved ;-) ).

michael_t, I just wanted to give a quick feedback to PS++ 1.4.0.0. PS ++ was not working for at least one year but now with 1.4.0.0 it is working with my preferred settings again without making any adjustements. MePo upgraded to 1.4.0 recently, then installed PS++ 1.4.0.0. PC goes to standby and starts again for scheduled recordings just like it should.

Thank you.

Both issues should run under the headline "miracles", since I did not change anything to the core functionality of PS++ since a very long time... Seriously: A new install / upgrade can change things (in both directions ) because you always modify something, even without intention. So @Nonciazzecco: I need logs to see what is not working on your installation.

The upgrade to 1.4.0 was in fact a new install as the TV database was seriously broken. I restored the settings with the BackupSettings Plugin though.

I left my PC to defrag the D: partition and just noticed it had gone to standby. I guess it's not PS++ at fault because I've got it set to let Windows handle standby but does anyone know why Windows would ignore activity like this and go to standby and how we're supposed to prevent this, if this is normal Windows behaviour?[DOUBLEPOST=1372617716][/DOUBLEPOST]I left my PC to defrag the D: partition and just noticed it had gone to standby.

I am really mad now.
I updated to MP 1.4 and PS++, which was perfectly working for me is no more visible in Plugins. Not in Client Setup, not in Server.

The HTPC does not shut down anymore and as a special benefit, the volume is muted when it starts or wakes up.

Now I got my old problems back, wife is very unhappy.

PS++ is not visble in Extentions-Installer either, if I try to install it manually it says 1.4.0.0 is already installed.

I need to go to bed now, wife is angryly waiting.

Oh, wow, great, right now the PC went to sleep while I was typing because the old problem that it sleeps when MP is not running is back too.

Damn, I am mad now!

OK, dear friendly community... any way out to make my life better again?

If you update or reinstall MP the PS++ installation is overwritten by the original powerScheduler. So you have to reinstall PS++ with the MPEI. If it complains that PS++ is already installed (do not understand this, since you say it is not visible in MPEI - but anyway), just uninstall it and install it again.

Thanks michael! Thank you twice. First for the good answer, it sounds good to help me. Second for beeing not (visible) angry with me because I had some very angry minutes last night.

To clear it up: i cant find PS++ in the MPEI, not in "installed" and not in "known" Extentions. I dont know why i cant find it. I downloaded the package manually and tried to install. Then it complained its already installed (1.4 installed, 1.4 to install). That was the point I gave up last night.

Now I will continue at that point and HOPEFULLY my settings are preserved.

Thanks again, for your answer, for the plugin, for the whole good work!

Yes I mean "remote client activity". In my specific case (I'm probably not the only one), the server is only needed when client need tvservice, all other functions (movies,series,music,web radio,online videos,...) work well when server is off. I did some tests and with my configuration, clients can run without server (expecting when tvservice) needed, so it's sad to know that the server stay on during all this time to do nothing.

I thing that a bypass of "remote client activity" can solve my problem and when clients will watch tv, the "active streams" and also "active network" will do the job to keep the server on.

If you really don't want to think about that option as you think that it's out of scope. Is there anyway for me to get your plugin sources to make my custom one? I really don't want to publish a custom version of the plugin, just want to apply my patch for my own use.

@Michael : Last try... ;-) No answer? Thank you.
