Have got the auto shutdown/startup enabled for 00:00 and 08:00

Always fails to shutdown as mc19 failed to close and caused the mac to hang.

I'll 2nd the part about not letting the Mac shutdown due to failure to close.

Could you help me understand a little better?

Are you saying doing a system shutdown while MC is running is the problem, but it's fine if MC is not running?  Does it matter if playback is stopped vs playing/paused?

Thanks.

[johnjen]

In my case(s) if MC is simply up, although it does quit, it does not allow the OS to complete a normal shutdown.
This occurs when MC is not playing (as in, is stopped), this same behavior would be present, I would assume, if it were paused and if it were playing.  I can test for these last 2 conditions if you'd like.

Ok, we'll test this on Monday thanks.

[Matt]

I think I'm able to reproduce this.  The OS said 'MC has prevented the system from shutting down' when I had it running and tried to shut down.

[johnjen]

That's the one…

So, what's the solution? I've placed a headless Mac Mini close to my audio system with only JRiver running. Is there a way to schedule a restart or shutdown and force the Mac Mini to do so, even when JRiver is running? Greeting, Wybe

[Matt]

I believe this is solved in MC19 Mac:

19.0.49 (10/2/2013)
3. Fixed: A running instance of Media Center would prevent OSX from shutting down.
