S3 Standby & Recording (1 Viewer)

[jameson_uk]

Last time I tried I had issues getting MP to work with S3 standby and scheduling recordings. (it was not waking to record anything)

I am going to have a play tomorrow but basically all I need to do is

• Set PC to go into S3 standby (works already)
• In power scheduler plugin in TV setup I set it to shutdown after inactivity, respond to wake events and set the shutdown mode to suspend
• leave PC to go into standby on it's own rather than setting it from the remote (think this may have been the problem previously)

is that it or do I need to enable the power scheduler client plugin ??

Single pc you need both the TVServer powerscheduler and the MP powerscheduler client plugins enabled with the same time setting and mainly people have only in homescreen enabled (me).

leave PC to go into standby on it's own rather than setting it from the remote (think this may have been the problem previously)

Hmmm, both ways work here, but for testing i would let it do it itself, you'll need at least a 20 minute gap between selecting your recording and letting powerscheduler shutdown and resume on its own, so its a walk away once it gone to sleep, make coffee\tea and come back for the great startup time .

Ummm set this up this morning and left it all day with not much joy...

Setup to record three small programs today
10:30 => 10:35 - Channel 4 - Tate Modern
11:15 => 11:20 - ITV - ITV News
14:50 => 15:00 - Channel 5 - Going For Gold Extra


I left for a conference at about 9am and the machine had just put itself into S3 standby. Came back and it was still in standby and when I woke it up it threw a bit of a wobbly and MP just locked up and I had to kill it. Once I sorted everything out I can see that it woke up at 10:24 and then recorded the program from Channel 4 (and ran ComSkip) then went to sleep at 10:44. It never woke up again though??

I set the standby time in both TVServer and MP to 10 mins.

later on it has

so it looks like all the [Powerscheduler Suspender] messages that are their the first time are not there the second. In particular:

2008-12-04 08:57:35.111750 [Powerscheduler Suspender]: PowerScheduler: Set wakeup timer to wakeup system in 86.4148041666667 minutes

Any ideas what I should be looking for??

Have you got in TVServer config\powerscheduler\reinitiliase TV service\cards enabled, because this totally screws my system up if it is.

I take it you mean the "reinitialize service on wakeup" option on the advanced tab for the plugin?? if so this is not ticked
