I would like to XBMC to EXIT just before the PC enters sleep - when I hit the POWER button for my PC on my remote, XBMC should exit and then the PC should sleep. Right now XBMC just keeps doing what it's doing and the PC sleeps... so I'm halfway there. This has caused issues with XBMC on resume that, in many instances, has required a reboot to fix. Needless to say, this is *not* wife-friendly (and ticks me off, too).
I was thinking of just using this "Windows 7 Suspend/Resume Control" CodePlex tool and killing the XBMC process before sleep, but that's not exactly graceful. Figured there may be a script or something I can use to make this work.
Any ideas?
------------------------------------
BACKGROUND\CONFIG
- I am on Eden Beta 3
- My remote is a Harmony 900.
- IR receiver is part of an official Windows Media Center remote set.
- OS is Win7 ULT x64 on a desktop PC.
In XBMC I've done this:
1. I installed MCERemote add-in and let it apply it's settings.
2. I did steps 1.1 (option 2: Keyboard.xml), 1.2 (Green Start Button), and 2.0 (Registry Config w\ Config v1.25 ) outlined on http://xbmccustomregis.sourceforge.net/remote_manu.html.
3. "Remote control sends keyboard presses" is set inside XBMC (system\system\input devices).
4. Advanced config I have performed on Config.v1.25.reg was to change 0c,00,00,00,04,00,16,\ ; [Power] - Sends "S" to 0c,00,00,00,03,82,00,\ ; [Power] - Sends "SLEEP"
