Did you check "powercfg /requests"?

No. I'm not really sure what I'm supposed to be looking for, but this is what I just got:

DISPLAY:
None.

SYSTEM:
[DRIVER] Realtek High Definition Audio (HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10EC&DEV_0892&SUBSYS
_1462640A&REV_1003\4&38357471&0&0001)
An audio stream is currently in use.
[SERVICE] \Device\HarddiskVolume2\Program Files (x86)\Team MediaPortal\MediaPort
al TV Server\TvService.exe (TVService)
[DRIVER] Legacy Kernel Caller

AWAYMODE:
None.

Re: PowerScheduler++ Test Version 1.2.5.3 for MP 1.2.x / 1.3 Alpha

Just done a run in Debug Mode and had TV playing for hours, but almost as soon as I stopped it, both my monitor and TV went into standby. Pressing a button on my remote woke both displays but the TV stayed black, so I would have had to kill MP and restart it to be able to use it again.

Powercfg /requests shows:

DISPLAY:
None.

SYSTEM:
[DRIVER] \FileSystem\srvnet
An active remote client has recently sent requests to this machine.

AWAYMODE:
None.

I can confirm that this problem appear only with PS++ 1.2.5.1 and later and with the oldest more stable 1.2.1 work fine.
It is a bug i suspect

Re: PowerScheduler++ Test Version 1.2.5.3 for MP 1.2.x / 1.3 Alpha

I have a small request, maybe it can be added to a future version.

I have an htpc running PS++ and I setup PS++ to monitor some shares. I now started iTunes additionally as a service (with a tool called jTunes), since this way I can use apples Remote to play music. Now iTunes connects to the Music library over a share (User share). I had monitored shares to avoid standby / go to away mode when a user wants to suspend the htpc. With my new setup I can not continue to monitor the User share while iTunes is running as a service (and it should always run).

So could you add an option to ignore access to the shares when they originate from the local PC?`(it seems that it uses IPv6 when connecting).

Thanks!

Re: PowerScheduler++ Test Version 1.2.5.3 for MP 1.2.x / 1.3 Alpha

Hi

Since I installed and configured the plugin, the tv server does not startup anymore :-(

Is there a way to reset the PS++ configuration? I know I can deinstall it by the plugin tool, but I would like to get the Alpha running because I'm really interested in the new functions.

See attached logs.

Regards,
Daniel

This means that the system cannot go to standby because

• There is an audio stream in use
• MP TVServer does not allow standby
• A (unknown) driver prevents standby

All of these must be off that your system can goto standby automatically when idle.

Another overnight run with most programs shut down and still no standby.

Powercfg /requests

DISPLAY:
None.

SYSTEM:
None.

AWAYMODE:
None.

If there is nothing to prevent standby (which can be seen clearly from the response to the powercfg call) maybe you have disabled standby at all? Please recheck your Windows power settings.
You do not have to run your system overnight; just set the idle timeout to e.g. 2 minutes. Make sure you have disabled tvservice, do not run any programs and keep your hands off the keyboard and mouse - the PC must go to standby after 2 minutes. If not, call powercfg / requests to see what prevents standby. If yes, enable tvservice (and nothing else) and try again. If this works, do the next step...

This option is already implemented - you can specify the active shares preventing standby by share name, user and client.

Thanks for your bug report. I made a mistake in renaming the namespace for the PS++ components so they cannot be referenced any more by WebEPG. I just provided a new version 1.2.5.4 that corrects the bug.

Thanks for explaining what the Powercfg output means. I've realised I was being stupid and can test by setting it to sleep after a short time (set it to 10 minutes now). I've also tested with TVservice shutdown and it still isn't sleeping, so I'll have to keep killing stuff and see if I can get it to work. I've tried disabling Hybrid now in Power Options to see if that helps.

Thx. I know that option, but I want to exclude a single client, not specify the ones it should stay active for.
