hibernate after recordings

[mikeh49]

Windows 7 really wants to sleep rather than hibernate. Try this:


[INDENT]Control Panel>Power Options>Change when the computer sleeps>Change advanced power settings>Sleep>Sleep after - set to never (decrease the sleep time until "never" appears

Allow hybrid sleep set to Off

Hibernate after set to your desired minutes

Allow wake timers set to Enable

Apply[/INDENT]


See if that works.

You may be able to setup a wake event using devcon that will restart your BD device upon wake from sleep. Search on devcon start device or something like that.

Sleep is definitely better than hibernate, especially on Windows 7. (In my experience.)

My personal opinion is, unless it's a laptop to save battery power, desktop PC's are better off with the sleep function and not hibernation.

My problem is USB DVB-T tuners - both plugin sticks and PCI dual tuners that have USB interface chips to USB tuners on-board (Hauppauge nova-t-500).
These seem OK when resuming from hibernate, but quite often fail to respond when waking from standby. It would appear, but not proven, that VIA usb chips sets may aggravate this.

why not just create a postprocessing.bat file and have the command at the end of the script using shutdown /h for hibernate?

This is exelent idea, I will test it.

it's not an excellent idea if you have another recording about to start !

Do you have the hibernate option when you click on start button then shutdown?

Yes it is not so good idea :
Advanced Rules
Set an optional advanced rules. These conditional statements can be fairly complex but powerful and allow you to record all shows that have the word "gadget" in the title for example.

If an advanced rule is specified the Start and End times set are ignored.

gEd: I have hibernation option on start button and the power button also put pc to hibernation.

MCE standby tool has option to reset USB controllers on resume from sleep. Might help in your case.

This web page help (wol part), pc goes to hibernating after the recordings is finished but I lost the possibility to wake up the pc from my work place or LAN.

Anyway I'll try, can you be specific what the postprocessing.bat file must contain before shutdown /h ?

if your not doing any postprocessing then i would think you would just need to, but the only problem is if you have a recording scheduled back to back then as someone else mentioned that might cause problems... unless you time your hibernate for lets say 1 hour and then have a preprocessing.bat (or whatever its called) with a cancel shutdown requests to continue recording. if your unsure how to do this... i can test it later on tonight and get back to you tomorrow. the /t option should give you enough control over time if need be.

@echo off

shutdown /h
