Re: PowerScheduler++ Version 1.2.0.10 (RC1)

Hi there,

I have an interesting issue/problem (aren't they all).

I am running 1.2.0A (custom SVN with Sky EPG functionality), on a single seat setup - Windows 7 x64.

I have PS++ RC1 installed, and it seems to work ok, except for sometimes when I press the power button, and it goes into away mode.

Auto poweroff (standby) after x minutes of idle works fine.

I have it configured such that RC1 manages the power options (and not the OS). It is configured with the following:

Only allow shutdown on home screen

Do not shutdown Network Activity is > 2K

Do not shut down if the following processes are running: Configuration, TVSetup, Comskip, BackupManager

The options on the PS++ client plugin are greyed - which means it knows its single seat (managed by the TVServer plugin)

Last night, it had recorded a program and comskip was running. I simply pressed the power button (I think Live TV was on the screen), I believe it entered away mode (didn't shutdown). I came down this morning expecting to find the HTPC powered off (standby), but it was still on.

The MePo  client error log was full of:

The HTPC is using a static IP, with the firewall turned off for the local/private network.

The TV Server log shows nothing (unfortunately I no longer have the log)

I will watch for this happening again and capture the actual logs.

Thanks,

J.
