Force Sleep

Post by Steven185 »

Hello, I'm running eventGhost on an HTPC running windows 10.
I contol my PC using USB-UIRT (via Eventghost's USB-uirt plugin), and everything worked fine until recently.
I would even put my PC to sleep whenever I need it to (all via my remote) and then wake it up and it would do so without fail.

The problem started when I decided to use a second TV-tuner (exactly alike as my primary TV-tuner). Now that I have my 2nd Tuner enabled my PC would be put to sleep with some delay and sometimes it would only wake up via the power button (as it if it was put in hibernation instead of sleep).

Now I know it's not eventghost's fault (or responsibility) to resolve my sleep issues. It can be any amount of reasons that cause it (from the OS, to the hardware, even the TVServer software that I'm using to stream live TV).

Basically all I need to know is how to force-sleep my PC. IIRC in Windows XP days there was a similar command that I was using (that solved such problems), but I cannot find it anymore.

Is there a plugin or a script to forcefully lead my HTPC to sleep? I honestly can't think why adding a 2nd TV tuner can cause so much issues (btw having only the 2nd one connected, w/t the first does indeed lead to normal operation as well, it's the two-tuners-at-the-same-time that kills the capacity of my PC to sleep properly).

Thank you very much indeed. What a convenient piece of software eventghost really is. Keep up the good work!
