What about shut down time? Does MP/power scheduler support this? If so, does it go to stand by/hibernate no matter what or only if the system is idle after recording or does it present a warning screen with a count down timer, something like: "Recording complete. Media Portal is putting the computer in {stand-by/hibernate}. Do you want to continue? {X} seconds remaining. [Yes] [No]
The latter being IMO the best option.

I am still looking for a way to make MP handle the recordings with wake up and sleep in a reliable way. I tried PVR-scheduler once, but his seems like an unelegant solution to me as you have an extra program (that often crashes but that could be due to my virusscanner :roll: ). You have to make sure you install the right version as well.

I also think this plug-in should be enabled by default. I am currently going through the MP source code to see what Power Scheduler does exactly. Maybe I can make some additions myself. After all, having a reliable wake-up and sleep function is important for a HTPC...
