TV Server prevents manual standby (1 Viewer)

[joystick]

yes, that's exactly the expected behavior.

You need to stop Live Tv before MP can go to standby. I setup a makro on my remote (Harmony One) which does this: "exit" - "Stop" - "exit": MP then is on Homescreen and will suspend after the setup time.

sorry, but no bug -> feature

cheers

Hello,

sorry but this feature does not work for me. I upgrade to 1.0.2 and since i cannot enter MP to sleep anymore, either with stopping live tv and go back home menu or enter manually into sleep. Furthermore, when i leave MP to go back to windows desktop i cannot enter as well into stanbye by the classic way (start menu -> stop -> sleep mode). I have to kill tvservice to make it work.
It's a bug for me.

might be, but also maybe not. Because for most of the people this seems to work ok.

so the only way for you to get assistance here, i guess, is to provide the logs.

cheers

I figured out a way to make go into standby when watching TV.

You need to make a bat file (cannot attach it here), write in notepad save it as kill.bat: taskkill /f /im tvservice.exe

Enable Power Scheduler for both the client and server and in the advanced tab on the server side power scheduler write in the commandline, for example "standby c:\kill.bat"

You need to have "reinitialize tvserver on wakeup" checked!

It kills the tvservice before standby and voila! it enters standby

Much safer version of that command is "net stop tvservice". That way the process is not killed and you aren't having a risk with data corruption.

Thanks for the tip, but I already found much better solution. I installed Windows Media Center and it works like a charm. No 15-seconds delays when changing channels, no random "Connection to TV Service lost" when watching TV, teletext works without any problems including all national characters, system goes to standby whenever I want etc...

Good for you. I guess lot of other people are lucky as MP works for them

Is this still the case?
I would like my remote to put the system into standby with ONE press of the on-off button, while watching live tv.
What would be the best way to configure this?
