PC Enter Standby Issues

[BTV2Nextpvr]

I am at about 1 month into new HTPC build using NextPVR.  My only issue is PC randomly fails to enter sleep/standby mode.  After observing this problem I believe it has something to do with nightly EPG update.  I have attached my logs, hopefully someone can offer suggestion.

Thanks in advance.

I am not going to look deeply into this since we are close to a 7.0.5 release that changes a few things. As a suggestion as soon as you notice a problem grab the logs. Each time your restart the server you lose on set of logs.

That being said this is odd since power management did send you a resume message but it didn't appear

Code:

2026-02-23 02:15:45.867    [DEBUG][8]    Requesting wake up for 'RecordingOID2114' [NBC Nightly News With Tom Llamas] at 3/9/2026 6:27 PM
2026-02-23 06:08:41.310    [DEBUG][37]    [Resume]
2026-02-23 06:08:41.310    [DEBUG][37]    OnResume...

but for some reason there are not sleep or suspend messages after the EPG update. NextPVR doesn't have control of when a PC sleeps though and that resume message to me indicates that NextPVR was sleeping sleeping all tuners were closed so I expect something else was preventing sleep, while NextPVR was sleeping.

A normal sequence would be like this (and the messages come from the OS)

Code:

Thanks for the heads-up on next version release.  I will continue to monitor and grab NextPVR logs and review them for proper sequence.

Thanks for the heads-up on next version release.  I will continue to monitor and grab NextPVR logs and review them for proper sequence.

The same issued occurred today, PC was awake and I believe it has something to do with EPG download.  My next troubleshooting step will be to remove and reinstall NextPVR and if needed do a clean Windows 11 install.  When building this HTPC I fiddled with a lot of system settings while tweaking and it's possible that a fresh install will fix my issues.

The attached NextPVR log files were captured first thing today.  Also here is the last few lines from 'C:\Users\Public\NPVR-data\logs\nrecord.log'. The time stamp for this file, as shown in file explorer, is 2:15 AM. The last event ended mid sentence.  Something not right.

Thanks again for any suggestions.

For anyone following this topic I am happy to report my issue has been resolved.  I may never know what the specific culprit was but after un-installing NextPVR and then re-installing the software (same version BTW) my HTPC is entering sleep mode as designed and wakes when needed, additionally the UI appeasrs more snappier.
