Hi, my computer seems to be suffering from this known bug of XP which sometimes prevents computers from hibernating with more than 1GB RAM

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=330909

My computer does hibernate when I invoke it or call it from the Shutdown plugin but maybe, in a future release, GBPVR can activate the hibernation/standby when the recording server/GB-PVR service is idle for a set number of minutes. I know this can be set in Power Management in control panel, but mine simply does not hibernate after the specified time.

the next version of the shutdown plugin (should be released soon) has a sleep-timer you can invoke (e.g. while watching live tv or simply in the shutdown menu) which shuts your machine down (shut down, hibernation or standby) after a specified amount of time (if no recording is upcomming or already running, of course!).

may be not the best solution... but a temporary one :-)

if you are watching live-tv/a recording/a movie/a dvd, a 'contdown' is displayed before shutdown which can still be canceled.

There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.

There is another theory which states that this has already happened.

How does it turn on in that case so it can record your next show?

Thanks for giving that link, that must be why my machine sporadically refuses
to hibernate, but hangs....

I've still not installed SP2 that supposedly solves the problem. Haven't you either, or did it not help you?

thats something gbpvr takes care of by itself. my tv compy is hibernating most of the times (shutdown by myself or after 15 minutes idle) and wakes up for recording.
since my machine does not require more than 20 seconds to wake up from hibernation, i did not have to increase pre-padding.

Actually, I am using SP2 and the download patch from that link will not work for SP2. For some reason, it still refuses to hibernate by itself even if CPU usage was almost down to 0%. I was able to have a boot that hibernates but when I rebooted the machine it refused again.

Do you have something like VNC enabled on your computer? Sometimes my computer refuses to hibernate, but it helps when I log on to my VNC server (which I have running on the GBPVR computer), and then log off again. Don't ask me why.
