This could mean that your MP hangs and will not respond only with the new alpha version (which one exactly?) or that it hangs if standby is done by Windows. Could you please check this for me? To do so please disable the "PS++ forces standby" option in your now installed stable PS++ version (1.2.1.2?) and configure Windows settings for standby as you did with the alpha version. Then please tell me, what you observe. Thank you!

Please send logs of the situation (reboot and not coming to sleep).

Hi
Could you clarify what "Reinitialise service" does, as with my tuner I have to manually stop and restart the TVService after resuming from standby before TV works?
Attached logs showing the problem after resuming before restarting TVService.

Hi Guys,
if i continue sleep / resume (after setting flag to reinitialize tuner on powerscheduler++ and setting stop on tv card) all works well, the issue appera only after long sleep (2 hours is enough) when i resume i get message of "no signal" and i have to restart all system.
i use the latest driver of terratec h7 available on terratec site and i have set no power saving on USB device on windows 7 professional.
Help me please.

It does the same as in the original PowerScheduler (I did not change anything here), basically it calls "controller.Init()" after resume, which is no full restart of the tvservice. But what it really does and why it does not help for you, I cannot tell you, since I do not know much about the TV-controller internals.

Same for this: It is no PowerScheduler issue, but has something to do with the TV card handling, which I do not know anything about. You should post your problem in another forum to get help.Hi Guys,

Re: AW: Re: PowerScheduler++ Test Version 1.2.5.x for MP 1.2.x / 1.3 Alpha
Thanks. I'm using a simple batch file with PS++ as shown here now (with nothing under :OnSuspend and net stop TVservice, net start TVservice under :OnWakeUp) and that's done the trick You might like to consider adding a tickbox to PS++ to do this though, which would make things simpler to set up for any other users who need to do a full restart of TVservice after resuming.
EDIT: Actually that doesn't work, as the PC wakes up and MP restarts it shows an empty EPG (missing labels and everything) and then when TVService stops I get a "connection lost" error and have to restart MP to get the EPG working.
I think I'll just need to amend the batch file to kill MP OnSuspend and start it after "net start TVservice" OnWakeUp. I'll untick the "reinitialise" option in PS++ and the "restart MP on resume" option in config too. EDIT: I see the batch file will only be run if "reinitialise" is ticked, so I've put that back.
I've also got a bit of a problem in that my PC went to sleep about 1 minute after I finished watching a file, so I'd be grateful if you could look at the logs and see if you can work out what's going on there. Standby is set to 60mins at the moment. Actually, perhaps it's because I didn't have PS++ plugin enabled in MP config, only the TV Server plugin, but then surely if Windows is managing standby, the fact that MP was playing video should have counted as activity and it should have only gone to standby 60mins after the playback finished?

Re: PowerScheduler++ Test Versions 1.2.5.x for MP 1.2.x / 1.3 Alpha
Hmm, that hasn't worked too well. Now I can't go to standby via the Start Menu (I've quit MP, but when I try it just blanks the screen briefly). From the log, it seems to be triggering a wakeup sequence and running my batch file, even though it hasn't actually gone to standby, and it only got as far as Stopping the TVService, which is now stuck on Stopping!

First post:
You always have to run the PS(++) client plugin, since Windows does not check for system / CPU activity to decide whether the system is idle or not.
Second post:
How can I help you? I do not know what your script should be doing, so all I can tell you is, that it was run successfully...

Re: AW: Re: PowerScheduler++ Test Versions 1.2.5.x for MP 1.2.x / 1.3 Alpha
Really? How does Windows decide then?
I found I couldn't get my PC to standby manually, even when MP wasn't running, and it was just going to Away mode instead, so I disabled PS++ (both client and server) but it still wasn't working so I had to disable Hybrid Sleep mode in Windows Power Options and then it worked.
I'm confused though as I thought Hybrid Sleep meant it would standby but also make a Hibernate file in case of power loss, whereas Away Mode is something different and just means it will blank the display if you try and sleep and something's happening to prevent that (i.e. a recording).
I haven't tried re-enabling PS++ and unticking Away mode yet.
EDIT: Aargh, now I can't get the Configure Manually button to do anything!!!

Hi michael_t!
First Thanks for your great work! Unfortunately i have noticed an issue with the current version: Single set setup, TV-Server is running, MP GUI is not running, PS++ is configured in P&P mode (Screenshot), Playback of musicfiles with foobar2000 is running and PC goes into S4 (it shouldn't ?!)? Logs are attached! Time of S4 was 17:27:34.820772! Could you please help?
Best regards
