Title: MC Remote control doesn't seem to work well
Post by: AlexS on September 16, 2015, 09:30:57 am

Hi

If put my PC into sleep or powersave in Windows 10 it works fine.
If I press the power off on the remote control from JRiver 21 it appears to put it into hibernate. However it freezes at the end and I have to hold down the PC power button to restart the PC. After that it comes out of hibernation as normal.

Where can I review the remote power off button settings?

Thanks!

This is probably not a TV issue.  I am not even sure if it is an MC issue.  I think the remote control's power button tries to shutdown your computer and the computer does not react well.  In MC, Tools > Options > Remote Control is where you would mess with remote control functions.  Unless I am mistaken, MC does not automatically do anything about the power button.

This is a clean Windows 10 installation.

As I say if I manually hibernate or sleep Windows 10 (via Windows start menu) it works well.

If I press power off on WMC remote it actually puts Windows 10 in hibernate successfully, but it freezes at the end.
This appears to be the default behaviour without any configuration! I have not configured remote to sleep this PC.

Weird eh?

Cheers....

If you shut down MC and MC Server on the PC, and then use the remote to Sleep the PC, does the same thing happen?

Will check.
Interesting that after the last update of MC21 when I press the button it just turns the screen blank now. Still get audio.
