Hi

I don't know if it helps but in the past I used Eventghost to prevent standby.
Eventghost is a tool with which you can do many things but building small scripts (with a graphical interface or by scripting with python language).

For example you could say:
- If program is started prevent from standby. If it is closed allow standby again
- If button is pressed on remote start program / send network messages / prevent standby / show text on your screen /...
- ...

Basically it gives you much more than that. You can create many scripts by combining triggered events (i.e. program starts / windows comes out of standby / network message is received / ... ) with actions ( start program / show something / do something / ... ).

Perhaps it helps even if it is a little bit out of scope. I love this tool and use it in many different situations.

In your situation you can use it for preventing / allowing standby, sending Wake-On-LAN commands, hibernating / stutting down the htpc, and and and ...
