In my current setup I have mythbackend and xbmc running on same computer. Xbmc starts at boot and as long as it is running, it will not allow mythbackend to shutdown the computer. So to shutdown the computer I currently just quit xbmc when not using it and after that mythbackend will shutdown the computer. I also have one addon running that quits xbmc when it has been idle for an hour. Other option would be to use the mythwelcome but I am not huge fan of it because sometimes it crahes on my setup.
Would it be possible to stop the connection to mythbackend if xbmc has been idle for some specific time and thus allowing mythbackend to shutdown the computer? Or, I can see that PVR powersave settings have options to set the next wakeup time with specific command/script. The script from MythTV wiki could probably be used, but the time for next recording would need to be retrieved from backend.
And thanks for your hard work so far!
Yes you can stop the backend even if xbmc is running. When backend restart then xbmc will reconnect to it.
You can also activate the powersave of your mediacenter. It is the same as stopping the backend. When it will be up xbmc will reconnect to.

Here's a log:It is not related to addon because you have no pvr addon enabled. Cleanup xbmc or remove userdata databases: pvr and epg to unlock the issue.
