![]() Can anyone help me to get epg123 to do garbage cleanup, given the registry settings I have described? Or better yet, does anyone have any insight as to why ehrec is waking up my HTPC repeatedly ALL NIGHT LONG? Thanks for any help you can give. In other words, could garbage cleanup be running in the background preventing my HTPC to be able to stay asleep? If I could get epg123 to verify in its logs that it was successfully executing garbage cleanup, I could check that possibility off my list. So I'm wondering if failure to do garbage cleanup has anything to do with my sleep problem. It seems as if something is preventing the windows media center host module process (ehrec) from being notified that the last recorded show has finished recording, so when I try to but the HTPC to sleep manually, it keeps waking up thinking that a show is still supposed to be recording. powercfg says it is the ehrec process that is waking the HTPC up when stuck in this cycle, and the only thing that stops the cycle is to either end the windows media center host module process (ehrec) in task manager or reboot the HTPC. Then after 2-3 minutes, it appears to go back to sleep again, but only for about one minute before waking up again, and this cycle will go on all night. ![]() It appears to sleep for about one minute, then wakes itself up again if the display is shut off. Is this correct? My real problem, which I've been trying to troubleshoot for almost a year now, is that after running epg123 successfully and downloading and importing the program guide data into WMC, my HTPC will not stay asleep after recording a show at night and manually trying to put it to sleep. But in addition, in task manager, when I navigate to the "Actions" tab of the mcupdate task, it points to C:\Windows\eHome\mcupdate.exe $(Arg0), not the epg123.exe program. Now, I am embarrassed to admit that I have had the tasks for mcupdate and mcupdate_scheduled disabled in the task manager (which I have now enabled, realizing my mistake with the help of various threads on this topic) for quite a while now, so this might be a problem. Additionally, although the "mcupdate:next run time" key IS present in this same place, the the data value for "mcupdate:next run time" is empty. Furthermore, in the Registry Editor, there is no key for "dbgc:next run time" under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Media Center\Service\EPG. ![]() Naturally, there is also no indication of "Successfully complete garbage cleanup". But when I check the epg123 "Beginning epg123 client execution" logs, there is no indication that it is ever trying to "verify when garbage cleanup was last run" nor is there any indication of "Entering PerformGarbageCleanup()". In epg123 version 1.6.2.2 (latest version) running on Windows 10 version 20H2 (fully updated), epg123 downloads program guide data from my Schedules Direct account properly, and imports this program guide data correctly into WMC version 8.8.5 (latest version). ![]()
