[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1305683, member: 141969"] Have you enabled the "PowerScheduler" plugin in "TV Server Config" and also in "MP Config"? (Most settings are in "TV Server Config".) When you use the remote control to sleep the system, the system will sleep immediately (assuming that there is nothing else that requires the system to remain active). When a recording finishes and there is nothing else that requires the system to remain active, the system will sleep [i]after the unexpired portion of the defined sleep timeout has expired[/i]. For example, if the Windows sleep timeout is 30 minutes, and the recording finishes when only 10 minutes of the sleep timeout has been consumed, the system will run for another 20 minutes before the system sleeps. The sleep timer is reset to zero when you interact with your system (use the remote control, mouse, or keyboard). So, if you are watching live TV and a recording starts, and you finish watching live TV and use the sleep button on the remote control 10 minutes before the end of the recording, when the recording finishes, 10 minutes of the sleep timeout will have been consumed, and the system will run for another 20 minutes before sleeping. You can specify what sleep timeout you want to use, but it is a bit of a compromise. If the sleep timeout is 30 minutes, the system will run for a maximum of 30 minutes after the end of a recording. If the sleep timeout is one minute, the system will sleep almost immediately after the end of a recording. But you run the risk that the system will sleep if you leave the room to make coffee. You can avoid this by pausing the playback of media (this inhibits sleep), or by enabling the [b]Only allow standby when on Home window[/b] PowerScheduler setting in "MP Config" and not leaving MP on the "Home" panel. I believe that recent versions of Windows also support an "unattended sleep timeout". This allows you to define a timeout that is different from the usual sleep timeout. The unattended sleep timeout will be used if the system wakes to perform a recording, and there is no other interaction with the system prior to the end of the recording. -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
