When I schedule MediaPortal to record a TV show it doesn't always do this. After scheduling the recording I minimize MediaPortal so that it sits in the system tray. I then often will hibernate the computer although I sometimes will leave the computer on if the show that I want to record is coming on shortly. Either way, I've noticed that MediaPortal will sometimes record the show but sometimes won't. I can't detect any rhyme nor reason to MediaPortal's behavior in this regard.
I've been using a separate scheduling software to power down the computer since shutdown doesn't appear as an option in the Power Scheduler plugin. This scheduling software is called SmartSleep and I've thought that this might be the problem but Media Portal has worked with it in use or not in use. Most recently (last night) I scheduled a recording in Media Portal with Smart Sleep activated. Media Portal did not record the scheduled TV show and left it in the schedule que even though its time had passed. Smart Sleep appeared to shut down the computer at the scheduled time.
I've attached the log files to this posting. I'm using MediaPortal 1.1.0.0 on a Windows XP computer.
What do I need to do to get MediaPortal to behave consistently and record everything that's scheduled? Help!!!!
