[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1173821, member: 82144"] Well, your MediaPortal log only goes back as far as 18 January, and your TV Server log only goes back to 28 January. On that basis I guess the log files are of no use? I assume you didn't stop the TV Server before uninstalling it, and that probably prevented the plugin files from being deleted. Nevertheless it doesn't matter. As long as the plugin is disabled it cannot do any harm. As above: the plugin is not doing any harm. I guarantee it. You can leave it alone... or if it really bothers you, you can delete the file directly from the file system (c:\Program Files (x86)\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal TV Server\plugins). Whatever you do, I would [B]not [/B]recommend to reinstall the whole of MP. At least not yet. You'll probably just make your problems worse if you do that. Without a precise date and time it's difficult (if not impossible) for me to help. I mean, you have not said if it happens every time you resume, or only sometimes, so what can I say/do? It's difficult for me to consider 25 seconds slower than normal as a MediaPortal error. I mean, how do you know the problem is even related to MP? Couldn't it be due to any other program which runs on the PC? This sounds like a Windows, hardware or BIOS behaviour rather than anything related to MediaPortal... but maybe I'm wrong. I'm not a power setting expert. Your picture shows the MP icon in the task bar. The system tray is the part at the right-hand end of the task bar (where the clock, volume icon etc. are found). Google or any other search engine can tell you what the system tray is. According to the Windows system event log some Windows updates were installed on 4 January. Did you consider that maybe they could be the cause? Okay. So to be very clear, [B]today [/B]the PC will not go to standby when you think it should, and [today] when you resume it from standby MP is minimised in the taskbar and can't be activated. Is that right? (I want to be sure I have understood which problems are happening now, because it seems like there's nothing that can be done about the problems from earlier in January) Yes, [B]and this is exactly the thing that is preventing standby in this case[/B]. In other words, the log is telling you that the PC is not going to standby [B]because MP is not running.[/B] This behaviour is due to the "do not put the computer to sleep while the MediaPortal client is not running" PowerScheduler plugin setting, which is enabled on your PC: [URL='http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/141_Configuration/TV-Server_Configuration/13_Plugins/Power_Scheduler/2_Server_Configuration#Processes_%28Expert_Mode_only%29']http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/141_Configuration/TV-Server_Configuration/13_Plugins/Power_Scheduler/2_Server_Configuration#Processes_(Expert_Mode_only)[/URL] I guess this option is useful for preventing standby when you want to use other programs. Explained above. MP is closed. Due to your PS plugin settings, this will cause the PC to stay awake. If you want the PC to go to sleep you must open MP. As mentioned above, other things such as Windows update installation are happening in the background. Sadly such updates can break things sometimes... [/QUOTE]
