MediaMonkey Woke Laptop from Standby and Started Playing [#21304]

[CrashMonkey]

Try this, and change, YOURWINUSERNAME with your username
powercfg /qh > "C:\Users\YOURWINUSERNAME\Desktop\PowerPlanSettings.txt"

Can you also run: and copy past output here. from a terminal with admin rights:
powercfg -waketimers

Also look at the Exact times it displays, and see if that is at the time you laptop woke up, perhaps something else woke up the laptop, and mm started playing as a result of that:

And the wake timers are not in control panel, i think there part of Scheduled Tasks.

Something else that may be related: I have noticed that sometimes if MediaMonkey is idling in the background, and I plug in or unplug my headphones, it'll start playing in reaction to that as well.

Could it be that there's a bug in that it interprets a change in the audio out device as a command to start playing, which also activates when the computer wakes up from sleep?

At least in my case, the issue happened all the time even if MediaMonkey was not playing.

Are you sure? Because in your log attached to ticket # 7688 I saw that MediaMonkey was playing once you initiated the sleep, this corresponds to the line:
00284515 42367.41015625 [13472] MM5 [13540](R) Player: Stored state, bookmark=8422, playing=true, paused=false

and later it woke up and the player state restored, line:
00284588 49643.45312500 [13472] MM5 [13540](R) Player: Restoring state, bookmark=8422, playing=true, paused=false

i.e. two hours later..

Could you attach debug log of this to the ticket # 7688 ?
Ideally also describe at which times/debug lines you (un)pluged the headphones..

That's not my ticket - I'm the other guy in the conversation

Then open your own Ticket

[Yerushalmi]

I will if I can get it to reproduce reliably enough to catch it in the act... (though I'm fairly certain I opened a ticket on this some years ago).

Can you also do this?

Open start menu, type cmd.exe right click item open as administrator
copy and paste line below and press enter:
powercfg /QH >"%UserProfile%\Desktop\PowerPlanSettings.txt"

On your desktop is a file created with all your power settings, please copy paste the text here, so we can see how your pc is setup exactly for sleep/power settings.

Tried it but got the error message "The system cannot find the path specified", suggestions?

Got there in the end, had to google CMD syntax and ended up using C:\windows\temp. But the file is 64K of text, hundreds of lines. I figured that you didn't that simply pasted in here, so if there is a way of attaching a non-image file I'd use that.

I see that this issue was marked as closed in 2024.1.3103. Can you confirm that this is no longer occurring for you with the latest RC?

Thanks!

Rusty,
Sorry for the delay in reply. I don't frequently have my machine in standby from playing, but as it stands I haven't had a reoccurrence since the initial reports.
Cheers
Matt
