[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1127544, member: 141969"] I have never used MP in a configuration with separate client and server computers, so I am probably not the right person to advise you. However... Looking at the "PowerScheduler" settings in "TV Server Config", there are two settings that might be relevant: (1) On the "Ping Monitor" tab, [i]enable[/i] "Do not put the computer to sleep while any hosts are active", and specify the IP address of the client computer (the Raspberry Pi). If the client uses a dynamic IP address, change it to use a static IP address. If I have understood this setting correctly, it should prevent the server PC from sleeping as long as the Pi remains awake. You will need to configure the Pi so that it [i]does not[/i] wake when it receives a ping or magic packet over the network. (2) On the "Advanced" tab, [i]disable[/i] "PowerScheduler forces system to go to standby when idle". What I think that this change will do is stop PS sleeping the server immediately, and instead allow the Windows sleep timeout to expire before Windows puts the system to sleep. If you have specified a sleep timeout of 30 minutes, that should be the time that will elapse before the server sleeps. (I am not entirely sure about this -- it depends what PowerScheduler on the server does when delivering video to a client.) To be able to use the settings described above, you need to change PowerScheduler to work in "Expert Mode" instead of "Plug & Play Mode". -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
