Hi , enabling Kodi logs will disable NextPVR and Systray will turn grey
Meanwhile im solving the issue , my question is : need i to pay attention on something ( Kodi settings or NextPVR advanced settings ) so that the recordings are not interrupted by kodi power savings ?

NextPVR Server tells Windows to wake a few minutes before a recording is due to start ... Plus, NextPVR Server tells Windows to stay awake while a recording is in progress.  The NextPVR TrayApp will issue a message if an attempt is made to manually shutdown the computer while a recording is in progress.

There is nothing that NextPVR Server can do if Kodi is able to shutdown the computer.

Does the computer go to sleep if Kodi is running and doing nothing?  Does the computer shutdown if if Kodi is running and doing nothing?

Thanks for quick answer Graham , well yes computer go to hybernation if Kodi is running and doing nothing . Just asked how's working because used that Kodi power settings succesfully with other backends without problems . Computer wakes up for recordings and go to hybernation state after recordings . 
Noticed some differences and its normal ( for example TvMosaic write schedulings to Windows task manger ) and thats' why i was asking if there's something to setup correctly to make NextPVR working

There is nothing to set in NextPVR ... NextPVR Server always tells Windows to wake before a recording ... NextPVR Server always tells Windows to stay awake during a recording ... NextPVR Server should wake the computer from hibernation.

That seems unrelated. Regardless we need those logs if you want any more help. Remember for Kod that is the debug log.

Also the Kodi addon doesn't tell NextPVR anything about power management. I don't see any reason for enabling it on Windows.

Yes , sure Martin wanted to do m but enabling Kodi log result in disabling NextPVR server

... enabling Kodi log result in disabling NextPVR server

The NextPVR Server process is outside of Kodi and does not know anything about the Kodi log ... NextPVR Server does not know what the log settings are in Kodi ... What does "disabling NextPVR server" mean ... what is happening?
