[QUOTE="michael_t, post: 1020579, member: 85139"] Basically it is not a good idea to have a server (which is not only the tv server for MP) run client applications with user interaction ("...pushing button on the remote by kids it shuts down during the day..."). So in the long run I would recommend you to setup a distinct MP client that your kids can power on and off without problems... Now for the current setup: You can prevent the server from going to sleep mode during daytime by configuring PS++ not to goto standby and entering away mode while a certain process is running. This blocking process must be started in the morning (e.g. by the windows task scheduler) and continues running during the day. In the evening, when you want your system to go to standby when not needed, the process must be stopped (e.g. by another task scheduler entry). To wakeup the server again in the morning you could configure the task scheduler to wakeup the system when starting the blocking process. Note: You have to map all user actions (power button, lid close, remote power off, ...) to "sleep" and not to "hibernate" if you want them to enter away mode during day time. If these are mapped to hibernate, the system will always hibernate independent from what is configured in PS++. But you can ofc configure PS++ to use hibernate as sleep mode for the idle timer.
