I would think this is a Windows 10 problem not an NextPVR problem, but it's still doing it after I had Windows 10 do its full reinstall, and swapped power supplies, and put the hard drive into an entirely different PC.
NextPVR had been working great as it basically always has. Until a few or so months ago it started missing recordings. The PC goes into sleep mode, and wakes up fine to record, sometimes. Seems like after a reboot, recordings will record properly and go to sleep and wake up for a day or two or three, then the PC won't wake up for anything after that -- including me trying to manually wake up by moving the mouse or pressing a keyboard button like usually works.
That last part makes me think it can't be an NextPVR problem -- unless NextPVR sometimes tells the PC to shut down instead of sleep.
------------------------------------------
So, apparently, the PC for some reason shuts down instead of going back into sleep mode. Or shuts down while in sleep mode. This PC is 95% only ever used for NextPVR to record TV. There's not much that should be changing anything with it.
The bios sleep settings were the same as always. I tried a different power supply. I let Windows 10 do its own full reinstallation, and then I installed all programs fresh, including NextPVR. I had saved 500GB of TV recordings NextPVR already did and then copied/pasted that 500GB back into a NextPVR recordings folder, but that shouldn't matter.
It still did the same thing. The computer works fine for a day or three, then it apparently goes into full shutdown instead of being in sleep, and I have to turn it on with the power button, and it does a full bootup and works fine for a day or two or three again.
Maybe it's a motherboard problem. Yes, it's not recommended, but I removed the hard drive and put it into an entirely different PC. Same thing happens. So it might be a motherboard driver problem, but it's not a motherboard problem.
If you can rule out it's not related to NextPVR, that'd be great. Figured I'd ask before doing yet another full Windows and apps reinstall on the alternate PC.
Also set the hard drive power-down minutes to 9999 since I read that helped someone with a similar problem. No change.
