Suspend/Hibernate while watching TV (1 Viewer)

[schwooba]

Hi...I've read several discussions about putting the TVEngine 3 into Suspend / Hibernate mode, but how can I do that while watching live TV? I realize that it's probably disabled to prevent accidental shutdown to all clients but is there a way to force it? A setting somewhere maybe? or maybe a script? After the TV puts me into a near sleeping coma, it would be nice to hit the power button on my remote to shut everything down (amp, tv, mediaPC) all at once.

Thanks in advance!

Anyone?...Any recommendations or things to try?

Thanks!

I checked "force tv server ( or system ) to shut down" option (or similar to that, sorry, dont have in my mind right now) in the power scheduler options. If i set my imon remote windows settings to suspend on power button is goes into standby even while watching tv. Just needs a bit longer - about 6 sec.

If tvplugin Not installed the pc will suspend when having powerscheduler enabled. Maybe this is the Problem.

I have the same problem... I have to swtich off TV before the system will go into standby. Even when I select standby from the MediaPortal main menu, it doesn't work, unless the TV Watching is stopped.

This problem started when I started using TV Server / Client (on the same machine).

Yep, I STILL haven't found a solution

Anyone have some suggestions for a few block-heads like us?

I understood from a few related posts, that this is considered to be a "feature" rather than a problem...

I use the standby functionality to quickly shut off/ switch on my HTPC. I basically can't switch off my TV anymore, unless I go to the main menu and press STOP a few times, to make sure the TV stream is stopped.

That's just stupid! Can't it be changed such that (optionally) TV-streams are automatically stopped when Standby is pressed?

Has this been looked into any more?
I think the functionality should be
If you are just watching TV the computer should go into standby/shutdown instantly
If you are Recording/ Recording and watching TV it shouldnt do anything (Or ask "You are currently recoding are you sure you want to suspend/shutdown)
