Summary0004201: File Monitor prevents hibernation from occuring
DescriptionConfirmed by Peke:
I found that most likely windows still thinks that MM is Watching/Monitoring HDD and that's why it will not let Windows to hybernate, StandBy, Power loss (Tested With UPS) works without problem and HDD is powered down when no tracks are playing from them.

The user added that File Monitor isn't in use. Actually, I'd be very surprised that it would prevent Hibernation from happening...

Doesn't the user mean specifically Party Mode?

If FileMonitor is not Active (I have one on DL/New folder where I store all tracks from various sources) But this is reasonable as there is constant file change.

Haven't tested with Party mode and Hibernation but I doubt that also.

Here is what I had on test tonight:
1. Laptop from a friend
2. Set Hibernation on Battery Level less than 25%
3. Start Defragmentation of HDD, and Play MM Songs to drain some battery and close it after some time (30% battery level)
4. Left MM to play in Party mode
5. Gone out for an hour or two
6. Got back and PC was Shutdown
7. Power it up on AC and observe behavior
8. MM started to play where it left after hibernation file was loaded

I'm not sure - is there any conclusion?

Conclusion is that in theory it is possible on some Computer Setups (Windows can act like that especially if you have some Download app which changes files in MM monitored folder, but again it should not be caused by MM) and practice prove different.

We should Close it as Non Reproducable?

Resolving - it doesn't seem to be related to MM.
