[QUOTE="AxelSt, post: 125165, member: 16792"] Hi all I don't like my Media PC in the basement running permanently. Thereofre, it would be nice if the TV-Server-Service could wake up the server for a recording and send it back to the previous state (standby/hibernate) after the recording even when no MediaPortal client is installed on the TV-Server (i.e. powerscheduler is not available).
