I have windows 8 running on htpc and have got xbmc and wmc working perfectly now and computer will sleep. I wanted to use lights out to make sure computer is sleeping as it should and not running for long hours because of some sleep preventing process. So farr lights out was working when watching live tv through hdhomerun prime and also streaming shows/movies from my windows server 2011 machine (also running lights out).
I tried messing with settings but even at 3% cpu monitoring computer will go to sleep when watching recorded tv. I found ehshell.exe but even when it says that process is idle on task manager, lights out is still picking up activity and preventing sleep.
Is there any way to have lights out manage access to recorded tv and prevent sleep when watching with wmc?
Otherwise I might just uninstall lights out because computer goes to sleep every 10 minutes.
Intel g2020 processor
Recorded tv folder is stored on seperate internal 2TB HDD under D:/Recorded TV.
