To emulate WMC's sleep button activity, I set up EventGhost to treat the power button on my MCE remote as SageTV's Power ON function (this avoids throwing the system into the screen saver). SageTV has a built-in manual sleep function that simply turns on an annoying screen saver. Note that it has to be run as Administrator, and if you want it to do so on Windows startup, you'll need to set it up to run at user logon through Task Scheduler.Ģ) If it's recording, your system will still go into standby if you hit the sleep button on your PC (or use the MCE remote's default sleep button action). I fixed this by setting up EventGhost with the SageTV plugin (and disabling all of the keyboard emulation stuff that comes enabled by default with the program). Instructions for setting up the EPG with SchedulesDirect are here (you'll need to do some command line stuff to get it working, as Sage9 doesn't have the webUI yet): 's-GuideĪs I've used it, I have run into a couple things that needed addressing:ġ) Many of the buttons on my MCE remote (Guide, GreenButton, Live TV, etc) didn't register in SageTV. Once you get it set up, you also need to download and install the newest Java 32-bit JRE, and you'll need to set up SchedulesDirect (unless you happen to have an valid commercial SageTV license). They still don't have an official Windows installer for v9, but upgrading from Sage TV 7 is easy enough. I have to say that - for someone whose focus is DVR - Sage TV is terrific, easy to use, and criminally underrepresented here. I just recently switched to Sage TV 9 (the Open Source version). I tried MediaPortal+ArgusTV for awhile, and while it was actually quite good, my wife didn't like it (it didn't play well with Windows scheduled updates, and frequently locked up). Kodi's video transport functions on DVRed files remain super buggy, so that was out.
