Prevent mediaprtal client shutdown while hearing music with squeezeplay (1 Viewer)

If you don't have MP and Squeezeplay software running on your client machine, does the PC suspend correctly?

My recommendation: use PowerScheduler++ which should be able to do all you need. Let Windows manage power transitions & powerscheduler++ will keep mp alive if needed.

No it doesn't. it also doesn't support network monitor on client side only on the server side - if you have dedicated server architecture. But will try what robbo100 is suggesting 1st.

R you sure? Well, I don't have the client / server setup at the moment, so I can't check. The decription in the PS++ thread states that it can do network monitoring - I am not sure if only server based.

Yes just the server supports it. Have to try some more stuff. Haven't had time till now.

had the time to test. It's MP itself which prevents the standby. The system shuts down when no software is running but it doesn't when MP is running.

Hmm.

Well it doesn't stop it on my system....

Have you tried MPStandbyHandler?

mhm strange no i haven't will check it.

What OS are you using?

In Win7 there are is a pretty long list of different conditions which can be set to allow (or deny) power saving. It might be worth going through your config line by line to see if there is anything which MP might use which is denying standby.

Win7 - i have powerscheduler still active to be sure that the server doesn't shut down. Could this be the problem?
