Hey there!

I recently decided to try PowerScheduler, and have not been able to get it to work. Long story short, the client pluggin is failing to run properly (I think), and the server pluggin is never detecting any user inputs - thus the machine will always shutdown.

I created fresh logs, did a TVServer restart, and observe the following:
Action: Restart TVServer with emplty logs @ 14:32

MP MediaPortal.log shows:
2009-09-28 14:36:39.705000 [Info.][MPMain]: Unable to start plugin:MediaPortal.Plugins.Process.PowerSchedulerClientPlugin exceptionystem.Net.WebException: The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a receive. ---> System.IO.IOException: Unable to read data from the transport connection: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host. ---> System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host

Server tv.log shows:
2009-09-28 14:33:34.673000 [Powerscheduler Timer]: PowerScheduler: lastUserTime: 14:32:34.6090 , False


Action: Open client, surf epg, watch some tv etc @ 14:36

Server tv.log shows:
2009-09-28 14:37:34.711000 [Powerscheduler Timer]: PowerScheduler: lastUserTime: 14:32:34.6090 , True


So... Anybody have any ideas as to how I can get PowerScheduler to actually work?

I had this behavior on 1.0.2 I think, I upgraded to 1.1.0, then again to 1.1.0 SVN: 23684 (to see if JBravo's patch helped any).


Any clues?

On Vista, the server plugin doesn't detect keyboard/mouse input (it's a known feature/bug) - I have the Windows calculator the PowerScheduler 'processes' list so I just run that up when I need to keep the PC awake.....


I've no idea why the client plugin isn't running.
