Re: AW: Re: AW: Re: AW: Re: AW: [New Plugin] PowerScheduler++ (New Version 1.2.0.8)

Michael, I found the problem!
I had the EPG graber installed and set to grab during idle time. That causes the TV-card driver to prevent standby during this grabing.
But when I solved that issue and there are no other requests that could prevent standby, it still does not go in standby by the windows power manager.

When I look at the idle time counter I can see it is counting down! But the time is reset after a while. So now it is not reaching the standby time! It seems that if the powerschedular++ is checking if it should do something it resets the windows idle time.
So I set windows idle time to 1 minute and the check time of powerschedular++ to 120 sec.
BINGO! Now it will enter standby due to windows idle time.

But one minute is way to short, I want it on 10 min. But that means that the powerschedular check should be longer than 10 min. I think that gives other problems.

Is it normal that the powerschedular check resets the idle time of Windows? Can I prevent that?

(I did not check the issue with the latest version 1.2.0.9! I will check soon, if you can now switch from away mode to standby after a recording. My problem is solved to.

I will post the results.

Greatings,

Frank
