[QUOTE="michael_t, post: 760409, member: 85139"] [b]AW: PowerScheduler++ 1.1.3.0 - Stable version for MediaPortal 1.1.3[/b] Hi revs, from PS++'s functionality I see problems in implementing your proposal. Let me explain why: PS(++)'s basic logic is to check for activities/conditions (here: network activity) that should prevent system standby and telling Windows that the sytem must not go to standby, if it finds any. Depending on your configuration there are two cases: [LIST] [*]If you have [U]not[/U] checked the "PS++ forces system to standby..." option, PS++ leaves the whole standby logic to Windows (idle timeout, sleep mode, ...) and just tells Windows if there is something that prevents standby. This has to be done [U]before [/U]Windows decides to go to standby, because a standby once initiated cannot be cancelled. So network activity has to be checked permanently by PS++ to prevent standby reliably. [*]If you have checked the "PS++ forces system to standby..." option, PS++ itself will force standby after the time configured ("Stadby after"). In this case it would be possible for PS++ to check for network activity before starting the suspend sequence. But nevertheless Windows could decide to go to standby, so this would not be reliable either (and would mean a different logic for the two configurations, which would make PS++ even more complicated to understand...). [/LIST] What can you do? As polarie proposed, the easiest way is to reduce the timeout to some lower value and maybe adapt your network activity threshold. If you are not using the "PS++ forces system to standby..." option (which I recommend unless you have problems with drivers permanently preventing standby), you could also try to disable PS++'s network monitor at all and see if Windows alone handles network activity satisfactory for your needs. Michael PS: :thx: to [B]polarie [/B]for his substantiated support for PS++ related problems in this thread. Since it is not easy to answer all the questions elaborately in an adequate time, this is a welcome help for me (especially since I have been on holiday the last weeks and could not access the forum). Hi Dragy, I do not really understand your problem: On the one hand you say that PS++ prevents the system from going to standby after 10 minutes (as configured in Windows), on the other hand you say that your PC goes to standby when you are working on it. The latter lets me assume, that you have [U]not[/U] selected the "Desktop" profile in PS++ configuration. Please do so and if you still encounter problems, send me logs. Michael [/QUOTE]
