Hi Guys,
Just wanting to see if I could get some help with a problem I'm having. I have Mediaportal installed on my desktop and wanted to use Powerscheduler to put my PC into S3 standby only if I have Mediaportal running. I think this would be done by configuring the Powerscheduler Client plugin (as described as here: 0001451: PC does not shutdown if only PS-Client Plugin ins configured to hibernate/standby the PC - MediaPortal Bugtracker) It says that the issue has been fixed, but on the latest SVN, it still does not work. If I have the TV-server set to shutdown when idle, it will. But if the Client Plugin is set to shutdown, nothing happens. I've checked my settings - changed them to match the ones in the bug report, but still nothing happens. Could it be possible that it was broken in the latest SVN? It's kinda frustrating cause if I let TV-server handle it, it shuts down while i'm in the middle of things - i dont want to add all the processes to Powerscheduler. I'm using 1.1.0 v23831
Btw, does anyone know why if TV-Server powerscheduler is set only to work between say 1am and 6am, it refuses to let me put my PC in standby outside of these hours, even through the Windows shutdown menu? It doesnt seem right if TV-Server is idling but I cant manually put the PC to sleep. This would have been an acceptable workaround but EventViewer says that TV-Server denied the standby request.
Any help would be much appreciated! :)

    As a workaround I just have the Windows calculator applet - calc.exe - (chosen because it uses negligible resources) in the Powerscheduler 'keep awake' process list.
