Not too many versions ago, you guys fixed a bug where PlayOn would not keep Windows7 from going to sleep when the server was streaming content to an extender (a 360 in my case).
While PlayOn now keeps the machine awake during playback, it also no longer allows the machine to ever go to sleep afterwards - that is, once I stream content, my machine will never sleep again until I reboot.
Currently I have the machine set to sleep after 3min of inactivity but it's been on for days. My Power Options control panel still shows the 3min setting.
My guess is that after 'turning off' sleep when video streaming/transcoding starts, you guys aren't turning it back on (correctly) when that streaming/transcoding is done.
It'd be really great to get this fixed soon - I hate leaving my computer on all the time.
Thanks!
Did you send in a support ticket for this? If so, our developers are already taking a look!

I did, great to hear.
Any update on this? I'm getting to the point where I'll likely disable PlayOn until this is fixed...
Thanks!
We should have a fix for this in our upcoming release.

Checking in on this again - I don't see it listed in any of the release notes for the 10/16, /17, /24 releases...
Cheers!
Looks like it might have been accidentally omitted from the release notes. A potential fix was included in the October 16th release.

I'm also having issues getting my machine to hibernate. The only thing installed on the computer is PlayOn. Is there a log file that I can check to see if PlayOn is not letting the computer hibernate?
Send in a support ticket through PlayOn Settings so we can take a look. Thanks!
