When you say itРІР‚в„ўs a bug when itРІР‚в„ўs not, itРІР‚в„ўs seen as whining that someone canРІР‚в„ўt determine your every need like, РІР‚Сљman, you made me a cake but made it without frosting?!РІР‚Сњ Instead of РІР‚Сљhey, that cake was awesome! Do you think you could try some frosting next time? Thank you!РІР‚Сњ The difference between a bug and feature request is that a bug is the design not working as it was built to and feature request is something you would like it to do.Р”Р„nd I know that you are thinking itРІР‚в„ўs semantics but itРІР‚в„ўs really not. A feature request is my coffee maker isnРІР‚в„ўt traveling forward in time to get my coffee for me then traveling back to give it to me instantly. My coffee maker isnРІР‚в„ўt heating my coffee up to the promised temperature. The difference between bug and feature request is for instance a coffee maker. If you label this as a bug, you will get ignored IРІР‚в„ўm sure because you are reporting a bug when you want extra function. So you have a feature request for this functionality.

In that case, yes, i would like to have plex bypass the windows command.Р”Р„fter all plex is already bypassing the command since when it is playing the movie without pause the pc does not go to sleep until the movie is over! so what's the diferrence? You pause the movie to get some ice cream from the kitchen and then you realise that you have to go in the bedroom to just press the power button and open the pc. Just imagine that your pc is in the bedroom and you are watching the movie in your living room. Moreover i would have no problem at all if plex bypassed my pc's command just to let me have a nice and smooth movie experience. Obviously it is not a technical bug but it is a user friendliness bug to me. I said 'bug' (in quotation marks)Р’В not just bug. 31 minutes, an hour, six hours? It all kinds of defeats the object of having power saving features running in the first place. If 30 minutes isnt ample time then there may be a registry edit to alter it.Р”Р„lso I have to ask what you would consider a reasonable time to keep the PC active. I guess we just see things differently because personally If i set my PC to do some command and something on the network forced it to ignore that command I would be pretty mortified. At the end of the day it is 'your' PC that is powering down because you told it to. Sorry but I totally disagree that it could ever be called a bug. If you havent already it may worth making sure the setting is ticked and if not see if it makes a difference. Have you noticed that in the server 'show advanced' settings there is an option to support 'away mode'? Im assuming that the setting you altered are on the PC itself. I have an always on sysytem so setting the PC to away mode is not something Im familiar with.

So, anyone has an idea why this is happening and how can i prevent it? I did that but the pc again went to sleep when i paused the movie (after of course having passed the 30 minutes requirement). Searching the internet why this has happened i read that in multimedia settings i should set the option to 'Allow the computer enter Away Mode'. What i noticed yesterday was that if the time for sleep mode has passed while watching the movie (in my case this is when the movie passes over 30 minutes) IF i pause the movie (yesterday i paused the movie to make a sandwitch in the kitchen) then the pc almost immediately (after 1.5 minute) went to sleep mode and the movie freezed untill i turned the pc on again. So, when i watch a movie everything is fine and the pc does not enter sleep mode and i can watch the movie with no problems. In the advanced power options in multimedia settings I have chosen 'prevent idling to sleep'.

I have also set my pc (for energy saving reason) to enter sleep mode after 30 minutes of inactivity. I have one question for you and hope someone can answer it.
