TVServer Hibernate/Standby (1 Viewer)

[AxelSt]

Hi all

I have been a MediaPortal user some time ago. I switched to Sceneo TV-Central because I wanted my DVB-S recordings in mpeg format and not in dvr-ms. Now, however, I saw that when using TV-Server, the recordings can be in mpeg too. As I like the idea of a central TV-server very much, I came back to MediaPortal. From the specs this is the most advanced HTPC-Software ever.
So a week ago I started with TV-Server and two clients (one on the server itself and one on a laptop connected through WLAN/100 Mbps LAN).
After some initial difficulties I got quite far. However, some problems are still remaining. Even after searching the forum, I did not find information concerning these problems:

1. DVB-EPG is kinda spurious. For example I still have problems with the german channel ZDF. Even after a whole night with the TV-Server running, there was only very sparse EPG information for this channel

2. From TVCentral I was used to leave my PC in Hibernate and let it wake up for the scheduled recordings only. Is that possible with the TV-server too? I tried it, but the PC did not wake up from standby for the scheduled recording. Do I miss sthg?

3. On my client, when watching a tv stream and switching TV off (with the corresponding button on the client's GUI), the client hangs. Am I not supposed to do that?

I would be very happy if someone has an answer to one or all of my questions

AFAIK Powerscheduler still controls standby\hibernate, so the plugin needs to be activated and configured in MP setup\plugins, and then mediaportal left in the homescreen with nothing playing.

Recordings should then be automatic, from whichever programs you have selected in the EPG

Thanks

However, I was talking about the TV-Server. I may have no client at all on the TV-Server. So is it possible to integrate the powerschedule-plugin into the tv-server too? Or maybe the tv-server is supposed to be running all the time anyway?
