AW: Re: AW: Re: PowerScheduler++ 1.2.2.0 - Stable version for MediaPortal 1.2.x

At 16:56:24 your MP client was closed, so the PS++ client plugin ended too and could not inform the server about user activity any longer. Thus 2 minutes later ("standby after") the PS++ server plugin brought the system to standby, as it should do ("PS++ forces system to standby if idle" is checked). To prevent this you can either uncheck "PS++ forces system to standby if idle" and let Windows suspend your system if it is really idle or you can check the "Prevent standby while MP client is not running" option in the "Process" tab. I would recommend the first option and only if this makes problems try the second.

Concerning your problems with "powerscheduler++ doesn't let the system go to standby":
Since Windows Vista there is a system mode called "away mode" which is nothing but S5 (normal run mode) with the display disabled and the audio muted. Windows enters this away mode on user standby actions (power button, ...) if it is told to do so by PS++ (e.g. when a recording is active).
I have not found anything in the logs, but it is possible that iMON does not handle away mode properly and crashes on entering or leaving away mode. This would be a iMON bug, since away mode is a Windows feature and shoud be supported (or ignored) by Vista / Windows 7 compatible software.
