    My server (MEDIA is system) is going to sleep whilst playing back recorded TV causing the Client (NUC7100) to crash

    I scheduled recorded the Andrew Marr Show 10:00 - 11:00 and was watching it play back on the client it crashed MP as the server backend went to sleep. This was during playback of the recording.

    From the windows system log

    The PowerScheduler Plugin in active and in Expert Mode

    Network in enabled at 1000 - I didn't think I would need this

    I haven't activated Win10 as yet - "new" build as I'm rationalising Hardware. This PC will be dedicated to being my TV server

    Have you got this active on *both* Client and Server?

    The client is a different PC, would it make a difference? I'll test tonight with Top Gear and find out

    I've gone from a single seat to client server so might have missed this

    The PowerScheduler Plugin in active and in Expert Mode
    I have never used an MP setup with separate client and server systems, so cannot offer any advice from personal experience. However, on looking through the various tabs for the "PowerScheduler" plugin in "TV Server Config", several of those tabs seem to have settings that might control when the server transitions to stand-by state (sleep or hibernation).

    As neither of us know how to use "PowerScheduler" for separate client/server setups, why not try the "Plug and Play" mode instead of "Expert" mode? If you look on the "General" tab, you will notice that there are several pre-defined profiles provided, for different sorts of usage. One of these is for a server system. So why not try "Plug and Play" mode with the "Server" profile, just to see how it behaves?
