Hi,
How can I configure my computer to wakeup from standby to record tv?
In DVBViewer, this part was very confusing and frustrating, unfortunately I have currently
same kind of a feelings from MediaPortal. So I am going to save my nerves and ask you
before I do any more investigation
I've already found two plugins which are somehow related (?)
MediaPortal Standby Tool
Power Scheduler
Which one I should use?
My computer is not only for MediaPortal, I do various other task with it -- so I suppose windows should
figure out when it is good time to go to sleep, not MediaPortal
(1) I just want MediaPortal to figure out, when it is good time to wake up. Windows will decide when to take a nap.
(2) I think it would be nice if MediaPortal UI would be closed when computer goes to sleep
(3) It would be great if MediaPortal UI would not be started when computer resumes, I suppose it is not needed
for recording?
I think my computer should wake up from standby (s3) just fine. So only the MediaPortal part is missing.
I would like my computer to go to hibernate (s4), but I am not sure if it is waking up from that state. So if you have
some ideas for this too, I am listening. I've seen MCE Standby Tool referred in various places, so I was planning to
try that next.
Thanks!
