Small improvement suggestion for PowerScheduler for TV-Server (1 Viewer)

[doornjoostje]

Documentation:
TV-Server/Configuration/Plugins/PowerScheduler - MediaPortal Wiki Documentation

Issue:
- In the general tab set the shutdown server after been idle for ... minutes to 2
- Advanced tab, set pre-wakeup time in seconds to 300 (5 minutes)
- Set time time before a scheduled recording should start to 5 minutes, see: TV-Server/Configuration/Recording - MediaPortal Wiki Documentation


What happens:
The system wakes up at 5 minutes (pre-wakeup) + 5 minutes (time before scheduled recording) = 10 minutes. But the system goes back into suspend / hibernate after 2 minutes and no scheduled recording is started.

Suggestion:
If (pre-wake/60) < "shutdown after been idle"
Error/Warning message "This config is not going to work, please make the pre-wake < "shutdown after been idle""
endif

If this really happens, then it should be corrected!

+1 from me

anyone else thinks this check can save you a lot of time and is not hard to implement?
