RC1 - Powerscheduler in tvserver suspend even if there's activity (1 Viewer)

[Shoey Peachew]

I have this problem so I set PowerScheduler to Stay On in MP/TV Server Config and set Vista to Sleep after 25 minutes. I haven't had a problem with Vista sleeping and waking up for scheduled recordings and it sleeps when MP is at the Homescreen. (I should note, I actually haven't used this feature since RC1's release, but I assume it still works. I'll test it out later to make sure)

The other problem I have is I can't use Vista to shut off my HDTV/monitor after x amount of minutes, because if I'm watching TV in MP, Vista will turn off my TV.

At the moment, these problems are minor for me. However, as is the case I find with MP, it's the initial troubleshooting and finding a solution that can get frustrating and time consuming as was my experience with the problems I mentioned above before I found a work around.

Just discovered a program called IdleShutdown by Peter Pan, you can find it here: https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/development-91/two-tools-save-energy-20609/

This program solved my multiset environment standby problem.
