[QUOTE="michael_t, post: 875222, member: 85139"] First, just to be sure we are talking of the same things: While you can have only one MP TV-Server, you may have several MP clients in your network. If the MP client is installed on the same system as the MP TV-Server (single-seat), then the TV-Server sees it as a local client, if it is on another machine, it is a remote client. On all clients the PS++ client plugin must be installed and enabled and the MP client software must be running. The local PS++ client plugin (on the same machine as the server) can interact closely with the PS++ server plugin, it is polled every 15 seconds to report its status (client activity). The remote PS++ client plugins are not polled by the server, but signal the PS++ server periodically, that they are alive and active (of course only if the MP client is running on the remote client). Since the PS++ server has no information about the remote client's status, it prevents standby as long as at least one remote client is active. It will go to away mode instead of standby, if the user tries to switch it off. The same (prevent standby and enable away mode) is true if a remote client is receiving timeshifting data (either live tv or recorded video). Michael [/QUOTE]
