Great idea a scheduler in MP....but to do what ?

An idea for your plugin...

I use PowerScheduler Plugin to hibernate and wakeup (or shutdown) MP when a TV record is scheduled.
It runs fine but it would be great if different tasks could be scheduled before and after recording.

After a record :

When you are programing some TV records, MP could ask for each record if you want to hibernate or shutdown your PC after....For example, hibernate after the first record, than wakeup before the next one and then shutdown when the least record is done.

Before a record :

The easy way is to stay on MP home and then your PC hibernate or shutdown (like in PowerScheduler), or to have a "orange button" to put PC on hibernation (and waiting for scheduled tasks like TV records).

Another way is to check when MP starts if a scheduled task is on the way (for this day, or week, or month ?)...and if "yes" (some TV records for example), MP could ask what to do : hibernate now, hibernate when on home for xxx minutes, do nothing... etc ?

Of course, a scheduler can be used for several tasks but TV record is an obvious one...

Best Regards !
