ShutDownPlugin

[nkh]

I have found a workaround for the standby thing..

First, download this program: http://www.rtsecurity.com/products/rshut/cmdline.shtml. Then make a new task in GBpvr (maybe called "Standby&quot, which runs RshutPro.EXE with the argument "/suspend".

That's about it

I just found a small alternative, http://www.fixup.net/download/utils/suspend/suspend.zip

Got both suspend and hibernate alternative exe files, all files 12k each...

Hey All,

Ok I know how to work with the power management dll and can get a list of the various power schemes, etc. can change to whatever I want, and can shutdown/hibernate the system.

Well i can do this from purebasic, not sure how to do this in C#. If anyone can assist with interfacing with this stuff

powermanagement

in C# that would be great, otherwise I'll write a purebasic DLL and interface with it.

The reason I want to do this is if i start up the MVP i want to be able to change power schemes as most of the time i forget and my computer goes to sleep half way through watching something

So i though the Shutdown plugin would be a good one to extend

Cheers,
Colin.

I'd not really thought of this situation. If you want, I can change GB-PVR to keep the machine awake. What would the rule be though? if there is an GB-PVR MVP Server running, keep the machine running?. I suppose the user may want to use the MVP at any time, and they dont want to have to go power up the machine.

Actually thinking about it further, I suspect if you were running MVP clients you'd probably not configure your computer to auto standby/hibernate.

I think this falls more into the category of occasional MVP user, so I thought this may be better suited to an extension of the Shutdown plugin (or possbily renaming it to Power Management plugin).

I don't think you should change GBPVR for this. IMHO the user should be responsible for setting up the power scheme.

Is it possible as a plugin to detect if a MVP server has started?

cheers,
Colin.

IPluginHelper.GetClientIdentifier() returns MVP + the MAC address

I have the same issue when using the Shutdown plugin. Anything I can do to resolve this so I don't physically have to click on the power button? I am rather lazy, and this does require me to physically:
1. get up
2. open the stereo cabinet glass door
3. press the power button

every time i try to restart or shut down via the shutdown plugin i get a "object not set to an instance of an object", and gbpvr.exe.log doesnt record anything interesting, anyone know what it might be?
