[QUOTE="doveman, post: 1127772, member: 67412"] Thanks but I don't think that's going to work for this setup. The Pi stays on all the time, being a low-power device, so if I relied on the Ping Monitor the PC would never sleep. I'm not sure if it even sends out pings but if it could be made to do so only when video was playing (or paused) that would solve the problem. I don't believe that's possible though. I'm already using the Windows sleep timeout rather than allowing PS to force sleep but what seems to happen is that the Network Monitor prevents sleep whilst it detects network activity but doesn't also reset the Windows sleep timer, so as soon as the network activity sleeps, Windows sees that it's been x minutes since it last received user input and goes to sleep. What I might have to do as a workaround is set PS to not sleep when a certain program (e.g. Notepad++) is open and then tell my brother to open that before watching videos on the Pi and close it after. It's not how I fixed the problem before and is a bit clumsy but as I haven't got a clue what I did before, it will have to do for now. [/QUOTE]
