HI rsbrux,

I thought I'd post a few comments on your post.

Yes I've been suffering from this too! I thought it might be due to my botched upgrade from 1.19 to 1.20. This was due to issues with your point 3, see later. I reverted (badly) to a previous version due to me not understanding the new way of marking watched recordings, thus losing all my client settings. :-/ I've tried all sort of sleep and wake settings changes and just been going round in circles.

I operate MediaPortal as a single seat connected to the TV and it wakes itself to record according to the scheduled recordings. Of course there is no screen present when it does this so it gets the same symptoms as you describe. Ether a fully locked client. Or a small version of the Client (VGA sized) that is also locked. A Ctrl Alt Del and task manager end task fixes this. It is only the client that is locked so although its an inconvenience every time I go to watch a recording, it is not breaking the recording functionality.

I think there have been various re-workings of the wake from sleep coding, but I've not seen anything specifically mentioned for 1.20/1.21pre?

Sorry I don't have this hardware.

They have changed the marking of watched recordings functionality:

MediaPortal 1.20 Release - MEDIAPORTAL

This really messed with my marbles and I tried reverting at some point because I didn't like the new way it worked. However, after reading another post on the forums I realised that it now works like watching videos and only marks a recording as watched at 95% watched. You can revert this by changing the settings in videos on the MedialPortal Client Configuration. I set my recordings to watched at 5% I think.

I think it is covered in this thread:

Recorded TV - Watched status is not updated

Hope the above helps?

I must point out that I haven't tried upgrading to 1.21 pre-release as I have enough issues as it is and I don't think these specific issues have been addressed in that version?

Cheers,
Richard
