There is a program called mythwelcome that has a setting
to allows two<br>
forced wakeup periods. See <a
href="https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Mythwelcome"
rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Mythwelcome</a>.<br>
These settings are obeyed even when mythwelcome is not
being used. So<br>
you only need to run mythwelcome to add a wakeup period,
there is no<br>
need to use it in normal use. It would be nice if the
forced wakeup<br>
period settings were added to mythfrontend's shutdown
settings or<br>
perhaps to mythtv-setup. <br>

I suggest you set something up that runs at startup to schedule a
wakeup for 3 am next day. This would be overridden if there was a
recording scheduled that subsequently called the wakeup script.
However that does not really solve the problem of a recording
scheduled for a week away, which would then shut you down for the
whole week. So you need a customized wakeup script that checks if
the wakeup time is far in the future it sets up an earlier time.
My example -->

<p>I already have a modification to my setwakeup.sh command to wake
my computer at 3:00 AM. This is so a cron job can run at 3:00 AM.
The problem is that setwakup.sh does not get run if mythtv does
not find anything to record in the schedule.</p>
<p>MythTV already schedules the next run of mythfilldatabase as you
can see from the backend status page of mythweb:</p>
<p>Last mythfilldatabase run started on Fri Aug 10, 6:39 PM and
ended on Fri Aug 10, 6:39 PM. Successful.<br>
Suggested next mythfilldatabase run: Sat Aug 11, 1:49 PM.<br>
There's guide data until 2018-08-24 05:00:00 (13 days).<br>
DataDirect Status: Your subscription expires on Fri Mar 8 (2019)
7:52 AM <br>
</p>
<p>but for some reason it does not treat this as a scheduled event
when it sets the wakeup time.</p>
<p>I would consider this a bug to be fixed. At the very least, it
should be set up as an option to wake for mythfilldatabase.<br>
