Hello,
I am running WHS with MediaPortal Tv Server and have scheduled recordings setup. Is there a plugin or something for the recording to wake the server from Hibernation to perform the recording?
Thanks.

Hello Bline22,

PowerScheduler is a plugin that can accomplish this, see the manual at PowerScheduler - MediaPortal Manual Documentation

Thanks.

Gary.

TV Server plugins are listed on this page, and "EPG Cleaner" can be downloaded from this page. Note: I don't know what bitness the plugin has. It might be 32-bit, or it might be "any cpu". The plugin is not listed by the "MP Extensions" tool, so I don't know whether it has been tested with the most-recent MP releases. -- from...

hm, weird. it can't access the file because its in use by another process... Wonder what that other one is. Can you try excluding the recording folder of all background processes? (f.e. defender/antivirus etc, and maybe (don't know if that is even a thing) from creating thumbnails) Edit: and is it always the second time it succeeds...
