Iâve just invested in an HP Microserver to become my NextPVR server and found that it only supports S4 Hibernation. The slower server start up time after WOL is only a minor irritation because my client start up script already waits for the server to be fully on line before starting NextPVR. The main problem is going to be the occasional missed Wakeup to start a recording happening during the now much longer Hibernation process. It takes 2 ½ minutes during which time its deaf to any wakeup command! The problem of missed Wakeups keeps cropping up. One work around mentioned would be to prevent sleep/hibernation if a recording is due to start within around 10 minutes.
My plan is at the end of a recording to run a script to check if another recording is due to start within the next say 10 minutes. If the answer is âyesâ then start a batch file which does nothing except run counting down 900 seconds. SmartPower is able to prevent sleep/hibernation if any of a number of settings are true, one of which is if a specified process is running. I hope to prevent the server going to sleep/hibernation while this batch file is running by which time the next recording will already started. Has anyone got a better solution?
