A couple of Power managment wishes

[martint123]

From the 1.2.9 announcement :-

- added logic to make sure the machine doesnt go to sleep when navigating the menus with a remote

Could this be applied to navigating the MVP menus please?? Mine just went to sleep whilst moving up and down the recordings list.



I don't know if this one is possible or worthwhile?

Any chance of a extra option on "settings" where alternative power schemes may be selected? I currently have "always on" and "sleep" and if I remember and am near the server, I set always on in the evening and sleep when I go to bed.

If/when I get a spare MVP, I may well have a deeper go at mvpmc and it's WOL which may make the above redundant.

many thanks

dunno if WOL will really help you on the MVP... i.e. if you only copy files from the server to another machine & set windows powerscheme on the server to go to standby, this copy action does NOT prevent the server from going to standby... it would be better to prevent the server from going to standby

I was meaning that with WOL from the MVP, I wouldn't have to wander upstairs to wake the server up - so it wouldn't matter so much if the server nodded off

The attached patch should resolve it.

Many thanks for the rapid response sub. I'll apply it now and report back tomorrow after the evenings viewing has finished.

thanks.

Thanks again sub - just a note to confirm MVP menu navigation now seems to keep the server awake.
