Ok so this may be an easy and out question but... I've noticed whenever I have Kodi running with the pvr add-on, even at the main menu, not streaming TV from the backend, my PC backend won't go to sleep like normal. I have to sleep or shut down Kodi and then eventually the backend PC will go to sleep.
Is this setting the "backend idle time" setting under settings>live tv>power saving? Or is there something else I'm missing? WoL works just great to turn it on, it's just that after i'm done streaming TV I want my backend to sleep on it's schedule.
Thanks,
Mike

How often is your pvr set to pull epg data from the back end?

I think i have it set to every 120 minutes and set to NOT get it while streaming TV.

I had it the same and also had my backend set to sleep after 3 hours but it never would because the front end was pulling info every two hours I suspect. I changed it to pull data every 8 hours or so and now when I wake up in the morning my backend pc is asleep. Not sure if this helps but was my experience.

That makes sense for your case, but I have my backend set to sleep after 30 minutes, way less time than 120 mins. Hmm...

On your pc from the command prompt type "powercfg -lastwake" without the quotes and maybe that will give you a hint as to what is keeping it awake...also try powercfg -requests

I've tried looking up that stuff, don't get any results. I'm almost positive now it's the kodi devices running. If I turn off the client my backend PC goes to sleep almost exactly 30 minutes later which is what I have Windows set up to do.

Have you checked the 'General' tab settings in swmc? Turn off 'Suspend system sleep mode when clients are online'
