I want to automagically power off the frontends when they aren't being used and power them back on with the (Windows Media Center - New Version) remote. I have searched at length and can't find any way to do this. There is a lot of material about powering off/ on the backend based on scheduled recordings but not about just the frontends. I also notice that the ASPI power settings in XFCE don't recoginze the use of Myth as activity so the settings have to be disabled or the screen blanks during playback. <br><br><br>All of the frontends are Gigabyte M61PME/ S2 motherboards, 1 GB RAM and AMD 3800/ 4000+ processors.</body></html>
