SOLVED - MC PC going to sleep
davelr:
Need some help solving a recent problem. I have remote passive speakers back on my deck that I drive as zone 2 on a Denon X4400H AVR. I’ve used MC (currently running V31) DLNA server to source music to the Denon Heos app. The main reason I’ve done it this way is to be able to use MC playlists and Volume Leveling while using the Heos app to control the playlist, general volume, etc. I’ve used this setup for the past 4-5 years with no problems.
Of course the HTPC thats running MC must stay awake for this to function which in the past has not been an issue. For the past couple of weeks, however the HTPC has been entering sleep mode. I had assumed that MC was responsible for keeping the PC awake but it’s been so long since I set all this up that I don’t remember any of the details. If anyone can give me suggestions I’d really appreciate it. Tnx

Thats a common quirk and it is with Windows not MC at the end of the day. Open Windows Power management by hit opening atart menu and typeing powercfg.cpl and enter to run., then choose the high Performance mode and change plan the settings as you wish.

Thanks, Dave. I assumed a recent Windows update probably triggered this but wasn't sure what to change. I've adjusted and will krrp my fingers crossed. Thanks again.
davelr:
Well that didn't work. Power mode set to Best Performance but the DLNA service does not keep PC awake past just a couple of minutes or so. If I login to a user session no problem. This is distinctly different behavior than in the past when it was not necessary to have a logged in user session. Any other suggestions very welcome. Thanks again.
