RC1 Remote doesnt work from wake (1 Viewer)

[Tank_Killer]

FOr some reason at rand0 my M$ MCE remote wont work when waking from sleep anymore. I hit the button and it will wake my HTPC fine but none of the direction buttons will work (or any for that matter), now the red LED on the receiver blinks when i hit a button leading me to belive the remote is sending the signal ok and the receiver is infact getting the signal. When i hit the power button the HTPC will go into sleep fine as well, however to get any other of my remote functions back i have to restart the pc. But once I sleep/wake again, i lose remote functions.

Again this just happened at random, i have made no changes to my system whatsoever since RC1 installation.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

BTW aside from this RC1 is swank I donated some coin to the hardwork of the MP team.

Thanks alot guys!! OPEN SOURCE FTW!

Finally someone that sounds like they MAY have the same problem that has been ailing me for weeks. I have messed around with power settings galore. This is what is happening to me and maybe its related to your problem?

Throughout the day Mediaportal will shutdown and wake up on command and everything works great. Like clock work when morning comes I go to check if the HTPC will wake up from standby and the computer seems to come alive, all the fans turn on, all the leds are on and blinking but I get NO display or audio (Pressing the remote buttons produces no sound). The only way I can restore it is by rebooting.

Now I realize your saying just the remote does not work. I am thinking perhaps your problem is HALF my problem, if the HTPC is not processing the commands it is recieveing (besides the power on one) then perhaps thats why its not turning on my video out. I am getting no audio because my button presses are not doing anything. I am pretty sure everything else is working though because recordings still get recorded in this state.

We have the same TV except mine is the Sharp Aquos 37 "

Can you tell me what settings you have set in these locations, I want to see if I can get mine to behave the same as yours to see if we are plauged with the same problem. Here is how all my power settings are setup:

Windows Display Properties:

Screensaver - None

Power Options

Turn off monitor - 20 mins - Never both did not seem to do anything
Turn off harddisks - Never
System Standby - Never

Media Portal Setup

General

Start MediaPortal in fullscreen mode - Checked
Keep MediaPortal always on top - Unchecked
Autostart MediaPortal on Windows Startup - Checked
Blankscreen in fullscreen mode when idle - Unchecked
Turn off monitor when blanking screen - Unchecked
Turn Monitor / tv on when resuming from standby - Checked and UNchecked made no difference
Allow S3 standby although wake devices are present - Check

Plugins - Powerscheduler Client

Only allow standby on Home Screen - Checked
Shutdown Mode: Suspend
Shutdown Idle Timeout - 2mins (for testing so I dont have to wait forever but this doesnt make a difference)
Force the system into standby - unchecked
Prewakeup time - 120sec
Pre no shutdown time - 120 seconds

TV-Server Configuration

Power Scheduler Plugin

General Tab

Shutdown Server after being idle - 2 mins
Wakeup Server for various wakeup events - Checked
Shutdown mode - Suspend

Advanced

Forced shutdown - unchecked
Reinitialize Service on wakeup - Checked
Processes - SetupTv, Configuration

MCE Standby Tool

Sleep State - S3

USB

Enable USB S3 resume - Check
Disabling selective USB suspend - Check

Devices

Everything UNchecked except Remote. I only want to use my remote on this machine so it needs to do everything

Install - NOT INSTALLED

Everything else is greyed out, Media Portal settings are greyed out as well because MCE standby tool is not installed,


I have been playing with all these settings trying to find something that works. What are your settings set to. If I could get my monitor to come on even if I dont have remote controls it will be a step in the right direction.
