Standby issue outside MP (1 Viewer)

[longfors]

Hi forum,

This is freeking me out. Has anyone a solution or idea ?

I'm running MP on WinXPSP2, and it works great.
The power scheduler is enabled so the PC can suspend and resume when any recordings are scheduled.
The Mediaportal standby tool is also running so that MP is nicely closed and restarted.

But

Because I'm also using this PC to surf, mail, gaming and so on, I want MP not to put the PC into standby while I'm using other programs. It seems that if MP HOME is running in the background, it will put the PC into standby even if the PC is busy on other programs.
The easy thing to sugest is to close MP wheneverI'm using other software, but then the hole idea about scheduling is gone. There could be some recordings that was scheduling while I'm using other software.

So, what can I do to prevent the PC to go into standby when other software is running ??

Use TVServer, it's powerscheduler will allow chosen .exe's to block shutdown whilst running, ie firefox, tmpgenc xpress 4, azurues or whatever you select that must not be interrupted, and of course as soon as they shutdown, back to normal standby options.
