[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1283882, member: 141969"] I tried this on MP1, and it seems to work quite well. It provides the red dot in the system tray, and has a "stop shutdown" setting to stop shutdown if TV Server is recording. (y) The red dot changes colour to indicate different states, but sadly does not indicate that a recording is about to start in the near future :(. This would be a useful enhancement. The "stop shutdown" function truly stops shutdown, and the user is forced to interact with the system (either cancelling shutdown or allowing it to proceed immediately). A possible enhancement would be to change this to "delay shutdown", so that shutdown would complete when the recording had finished. Hibernation is similar to shutdown in that it terminates prematurely any recordings that are currently in progress. Sadly, hibernation is [b]not[/b] stopped by the "TV Server Monitor". There may be a reason for this, but the reason does not occur to me at present. So I think that a useful enhancement would be to treat hibernation the same as shutdown. Finally, I did try the "TV Server Monitor" on my MP2 system, but without success. Unfortunately, I recently changed the networking setup in my HTPC by installing a second network adapter. MP1 did not notice at all (TV Server still works), but MP2 [i]does[/i] notice, and the MP2 TV Server no longer provides live TV or an EPG. If you want to use MP2, it might be worth trying for yourself, but you need to place the "TV Server Monitor" files in the correct folder. The monitor needs to use some TV Server DLLs, so I think that the correct folder is probably the one containing the "SlimTV" plugin. But if some of the TV Server DLLs have different names in MP2, the monitor won't be able to find them and it won't work. -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
