[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1286062, member: 141969"] I have never used MP on Windows 10, so this may be explicable in terms of Windows 10 behaviour. The idle EPG grabber will run only if the HTPC is not recording and you do not watch live TV. The intention is to use the 1440 refresh value with "PowerScheduler" set to wake the HTPC at a time when it is not in use (typically very early in the morning, such as 04:00 am). So, this is what happens: [LIST] [*]"PowerScheduler" wakes the HTPC at 04:00 am. [*]The EPG grabber runs for around 30 minutes (in your case). [*]The database updater runs for a further period (perhaps another 30 minutes). [*]"PowerScheduler" returns the HTPC to sleep. [/LIST] During the day, if you wake the HTPC to watch live TV, or the HTPC wakes to perform a recording, less than 1440 minutes will have passed since the last idle EPG grab, so the grabber won't run. Thus there is nothing to prevent the HTPC returning to sleep when you are no longer using the HTPC and no recording is occurring. The HTPC should return to sleep after a few minutes (depending on the Windows sleep timeout). -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
