[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1226205, member: 141969"] There is an unfortunate difference between sleep and hibernation. This difference makes hibernation unusable from a remote control: (1) If the POWER button on the remote control is defined to be "Sleep", [i]and[/i] you have enabled "Away Mode" in the active power plan, when you press the POWER button on the remote: (a) the system will transition to away mode if a recording is in progress or one is about to start in the next N minutes, or (b) the system will transition to sleep mode if there is no current recording and one is not about to start in the next N minutes. These are the outcomes that you want on an HTPC. (2) If the POWER button on the remote control is defined to be "Hibernate", the system [i]hibernates immediately[/i], regardless of whether a recording is in progress. So any currently-active recording is terminated prematurely. This is [i]not[/i] the outcome that you want on an HTPC. As far as I know, this is Windows behaviour, and cannot be overridden by MP. If you want to use hibernation, you should define the POWER button on the remote to have no function. Windows uses the name "Sleep Button" for the power button on the remote, and you define its action in the "Advanced Settings" in the power plan. You should then define a reasonable hibernation time (say, 15 minutes) in the power plan, and that is the time that an idle system will run before hibernating. Note that a system that is recording is not considered to be idle, so expiry of the hibernation timeout [i]does not[/i] end a recording prematurely. Instead, the recording runs to completion and then the system hibernates immediately. -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
