I have a multi group in Girder that triggers when Girder gets the OnSuspend event. The multi group is a group of USB-UIRT transmit IR commands to shut down some of my A/V equipment. I have confirmed the multi group does trigger however, the USB-UIRT does not transmit the IR commands. Does the plugin look for PBT_APMSUSPEND and shut itself down? If so, can that be disabled or is there a work around? If not, thoughts on why it doesn't transmit?

Here's a link to the Girder thread about this issue as well:

The Girder plugin *can* shut itself down on Suspend (you can access this option in the Girder->Settings->Plugins tab by clicking on the 'Settings' button when the USB-UIRT plugin is highlights. By default, however, this option is OFF, so it shouldn't be affecting you.

Another thing you can try to help diagnose the problem is to highlight the multigroup and use the F5 (Test) key to see if the Multigroup does what you expect.

The only items on the plugin Settings dialog are "Suppress Driver Error Dialog" and "Restart Driver on Resume from Standby". Nothing about shutting down on suspend? I'm using version 2.6.9. The Grider multi group works as expected, I currently have it trigger OnQuerySuspend until this issue is resolved.

The "Restart Driver on Resume from Standby" option is what I was referring to. If this option is enabled, the USB-UIRT Windows Driver is disabled when going into suspend and re-enabled after.

That doesn't solve the issue of USB-UIRT not transmitting the IR commands when the system is going into suspend. The Girder event fires, the IR commands just are not transmitting. Can the USB-UIRT be configured so it won't shutdown on suspend? Otherwise it's impossible to transmit IR when the system is about to suspend which makes shutting off other equipment problematic.

If the box is 'not' checked, the the USB-UIRT does not shut down on suspend -- so I do not know why the IR commands aren't working at that point...

The box is not checked. Any chance I can get the source for the plugin so I can modify it to meet my needs?

Yes but I never received a reply.
