This means that utilities I relied on under Lion - Caffeine and ReallyPreventStandby plugin for LMS no longer work. I'm sure you know what's happening on your own machine. But I see that the Roaringapps compatibility table lists Caffeine as compatible with Mountain Lion. If it's not, maybe you should report it there. I've just installed ML on an external drive, not my main one, so I'll check some time what result I get. danco's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=210 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=95980 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

I had hoped I knew what was happening on my own machine. But prompted by your post I have just tried it again to find it did prevent sleep beyond my set idle timer. It seems that I am not the only one to report it failing to prevent sleep though - see the replies to this post: http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20120801003744629. I have emailed the developers but have not had a reply. I will hold off for things to clarify before contacting Roaringapps. Note though that caffeine is not useful for LMS use as it also stops the screen from blanking (when it works!) nonnoroger's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=35581 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=95980 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Is the 60 seconds a built-in period for the re-invocaction? Any ideas why I could not get it working as a toggle? By the way, I have my system sleep time set to 10 minutes. I am currently running with ReallyPreventStandby set to preventing standby if players are on - when I had the system going into standby while playing this setting was off. I will try it for a couple of days and then post again.Truthfully, I never did take ReallyPreventStandby's code to a finished state. The toggle feature was supposed to be a execute:first == inhibit sleep, execute:again == uninhibit. But I don't recall if I really fleshed that feature out or not. I'd have to review the code and, frankly, I don't even have a copy of ReallyPreventStandby currently installed on any of my LMS boxes. Lately, I've been giving SrvrPowerCtrl a little more attention. The next version to hit my beta repo will include a feature to check for active login sessions on both Linux and OSX and optionally inhibit power saving when it sees one. Could that work for you? Could you train yourself and family members to always remember to logout when finished using the Mac? Under this scenario, you'd disable all or most of the OS X power management features and let SrvrPowerCtrl take care of business. gharris999's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=115 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=95980 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

That might explain a few things. But sadly no - logging out and back in is not going to be a realistic option in our case. Perhaps I should be beating at the Logitech's door and the LMS development team on this one.
