    Short answer: No, MP does not start up alone when windows is already running, but MP was closed. You though have the possibility to let MP hibernate your computer and then wake up for the selected shows...

    u think it might be possible in the future to develop a small plugin that would act like a scheduler in the background like MCE? that way MP would open adn close as needed for recordings.

    I did a check of MP 1.36 x64 on Win11 and I can confirm, that the TV server correctly detects running MediaPortal.exe process.
