Hi

I do not think it is possible to prevent a user-initiated shutdown/restart.
For hibernate/suspend options, please see this page in the wiki:
Power Scheduler - MediaPortal Wiki

I am not using it myself, but a lot of other users should be able to assist if you return with specific detailed questions.

Hi

Thx for reply

I know it can be done because MCE for win7 can prevent it

Just use the powerscheduler ++ plugin (it will replace the builtin power scheduler). Set windows power options to sleep in x minutes, then set ps++ to htpc profile. The option to prevent shutdown is called Away mode, as w7 does not allow programs to abort a shutdown, they may only enter away mode, which is basically pc is running with no video & sound output.

You can reapply the profile and disable the Advanced Options. One last remark (I was not sure about that): PS++ can not prevent a shutdown, but "just" a Sleep command. Since Windows 7 does not allow programs to abort a user initiated shutdown, hibernate and/or reboot MCE "should" have trouble doing that (unless MS allow their own SW do do things on the OS others are not allowed to do, shame on them).

Just a thought
Could it be that I set MCE to be the default recorder in MCE settings with DVBlink that this prevent shutdown when recording ??

Sorry, I have no MCE experience. I just know what the OS allows normal applications and what not
