ShutDownPlugin

[TypQxQ]

That might be the problem, as my problematic machine was also a P2. I will however check if I can simulate an ACPI shutdown signal somehow, the shutdown is taking awfull long time on my machine...

Great plugin thank you.

Now a wishlist for the plugin.....Add an Abort (Restart or Shutdown) and extend these two functions to Restart/Shutdown in XX seconds so you have time to Abort.

I used a custom task to Restart or Shutdown in 30 seconds and had an Abort. Your plugin replaced these but I miss the Abort.

I second the abort and shutdown in x seconds. I had a custom task as well, but this one is far better.

BTW, is there only a blue skin available. I'm using the red sky skin, and shutdown is the odd one out. On the other side, then it is *very* clear something crucial is going on.

Oh, the install wasn't a complete no-brainer. But I managed.

Myself and a friend added a button to the Shutdown plugin that puts the system into Standby.

TypQxQ if you are interested I'll send you the source. We're not artistic so you'd probably need to tweak the button images and the background image a bit.

Works though.

The shutdown plugin is the one I use most...

However, I noticed it says "shutig down the computer", only very minor, but I thought I mention it here anyway.

Is there any progress on this plugin?
Greetz,

Is it possible to get at the power schemes (at least on an XP box)? I tend to setup a different scheme for recordings, and it would be sweet to be able to change this from with GBPVR.

I haven't looked too much at the C# api's in this area,

cheers,
Colin.

I'd guess these are accessible from C#. Even if the .net framework API dont directly provide this functionality, it is always possible to call native WIN32 APIs.

TypQxQ:

Not sure if powering down the PC is still an issue, but if it is, take a look at:

Win32Shutdown

instead of the

Shutdown

method of the Win32_OperatingSystem class. I've used it in the past and had better success w.r.t powering down a system. I was having the same "non-power down" issue, and switched to this method instead and it solved my problems. It can probably replace your reboot code too to shorten your total lines of code (not that it's long by any means).

Any news of this being a possible feature - love the plugin but would love it even more if it had standby as well.

I think the original author is no longer with us.

MC001, or any one else thats able to make the change, let me know and I'll make it available to others.
