I have windows7 set to automatically go to sleep after 3 hours of no activity.
It works fine for when I go to bed with a film/show playing onto my tv from the computer.
But if it's a DVD then the computer never goes to sleep.
I'm guessing it's because when the movie ends the player (Windows Media Player) goes back to the DVD menu, which it considers to be "playing a video file" so it won't let the computer go to sleep.
Any workarounds for this? (I like windows media player, I don't want to switch to something else).
