I posted this over at sourceforge.net, but I thought I would also post it here too.

Running MCEBuddy v2.1.2 on Windows 7, 64-bit.

When I check the option to 'Wake and start at', in the GUI's Advance Settings, MCEBuddy never wakes up at the selected time. It just stays idle. The only way I can get the program to operate is to uncheck this option and run it manually. Am I doing something wrong here? Is this a bug or just a user error?

Yes, this is a bug that has been noted. I responded with detail on teh sourceforge site. Wake and Start is broken in 2.1.2 and will be fixed (with many new features such as prevent sleep and only wake etc) in 2.1.3

Thanks for posting it.

could the option be given to run instead of a service, but just as a program? Meaning, use command line to start program and basically press the start button? Then it could just be scheduled through windows scheduler.

? I didn't understand. Are you asking for an option to schedule the start and stop through the command line instead of the GUI?
If so, what would be the advantage of doing that?

Using the windows scheduler would just be a round about way to acheiving the same objective (with much less functionality - as you'll see with the next release it allows you to independetly control the wakeup , start/stop features along with sleep prevention capabilities).
