[QUOTE="D3tritus, post: 1049803, member: 67589"] Thanks. I came to a similar conclusion myself last night and gave Girder a try. It sort of worked but it seems that it wasn't reliably putting the console into standby (sometimes required 2 pushes of the standby or wake button on the remote). Also seemed to take an inordinately long time to wake from standby sometimes, which seems strange given it's a relatively well specced machine with ample RAM and an SSD. I was trying to set this up because I have a strange issue with the HD4600 gfx on my Haswell board. When I change inputs on the TV and then switch back to MePo, I get white noise on the screen. This is generally only soluble by switching the TV off and on again (don't have to reboot the PC). I'm guessing this is some sort of HDCP auth issue. I was hoping that switching the machine into standby when I switch away from MePo would prevent this from happening but it's just not reliable enough. I think I'm going to resort to using power-scheduler just to save power when the machine is idle. I'll try to find another route to fixing the gfx issue. [/QUOTE]
