[QUOTE="Vasilich, post: 922101, member: 97516"] Hi all. I use singleseat setup with MP 1.2.3 1. MP configured (via PowerScheduler) to sleep after 5 minutes of idling 2. MP configured to activate TV as soon as i go to MyTV ( = use TV button on remote). So if no video or TV is shown (i.e. MP is idling) - HTPC goes standby. Constellation 1: HTPC is on, MP is in MyVideos. I press "power" on my remote, HTPC goes standby. When scheduled record should happen - HTPC wakes up, records all it has to, ComSkip does its job, and after all finished and +5 minutes idling HTPC goes standby. So far so good. Constellation 2: HTPC is on, MP is in TV fullscreen mode. I press "power" on my remote, HTPC goes standby. When scheduled record should happen - HTPC wakes up, records all it has to, ComSkip does its job. From here is a difference to case 1: as MP went standby while TV was active, after resuming from standby TV automatically turns on. So from this point MP never idles because of TV is shown -> HTPC eats energy though nobody watching TV now. HTPC energy consumption isn't a big deal, but connected to 50" plazma that switches on together with HTPC it can be expensive. SO how do you solve this problem (if there is any solution available) ? Now i use quite complex scripts with EventGhost, but thought that i am not alone with this problem, and probably there is more elegant solution for this? Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
