My HTPC will not return to sleep mode after a scheduled TV Recording through MC.  Wake up to record works great.  I have to clear the power management configuration by exiting MC and restarting the HTPC. I know,  I know,  I'm picky!   I've thought about creating an overide command for this in powercfg but upon further consideration, this may be a JRiver coding issue.  If there is a user setting control I'm missing, please direct me to a support thread.  Or, if this is rooted in the windows power managment zone a support thread for this as well. This appeared to be working great in a prior version, ie, 125?

Here is a snapshot of my HTPC system at a point that the server has just finished a TV recording, showing JRiver's power management status and showing windows power management status.  Your guidance is always appreciated.

In follow up to the original post, I'm now using version 134 and have logged a scheduled TV Recording through MC with the same behavior, ie, the HTPC not returning to sleep mode after the scheduled recording has finished.  I'm using an InfiniTV 4 PCI Card.

Build 125, which you said worked fine, was the build where I made some changes related to TV recording and system sleep:

19.0.125 (4/3/2014)

5. Fixed: When recording consecutive television shows on the same channel, the second recording might not be completed as the system might go to sleep.


Can you try build 136, available on MC19 board?  The latest build has a bit of more logging that may give me some clue.

EDIT: Never mind.  I think I know what happened.  Your tuner 1 failed.  We did not clear the system sleep timer after the failure.  Later MC used your tuner 2 to record and all was fine with that.  However MC was still holding a reference to the system sleep manager due to the failed tuner 1.

In the next build we will handle the failed tuner better.

As for why one of your tuners was failing, I do not know.  I see this in your log: "Error communicating with device: Ceton InfiniTV PCIe (00-80-03-37) Tuner 1"

Thanks for looking into this!  I'll open a support ticket with Ceton and will update to the MC version which references the handling of the tuners and report back.

19.0.137 (6/2/2014)
Fixed: MC would prevent system from going to sleep after failed (due to tuner failure for example) attempt at recording a television show.
