[RELEASE] Advanced Wake On Lan (WOL) Addon - Wake up a remote computer/server

moin mandark !
first: thanks for that really helpful plugin !

i´m using it on openelec_pvr to wakeup my tvheadend server.
works fine. "wol on startup" and "wol on demand" works stable.

i´m using "suspend to ram" for my xbmc/openelec so i have a feature request:
"wol on resume" would be really nice.

thanks

i'm sorry, but i don't really know how to find out, if the PC has returned from sleep from within a XBMC-script. i'm not sure, if it's even possible.

i'd suggest to acomplish this on the OS-level and not in XBMC. this thread should help you in achieving this.

thanks for the hint.

a wonder happend after update to the latest openelec_pvr release (march 28) based on final eden.
WOL packet is send to my server on xbmc resume

dunnow how , but it works like a charm

again, thanks for your plugin !

Hi

I'm having som trouble with this program.

When i press AWOL in XBMC, my server is Awake within 15 seconds. But after that, none of my SMB shares are working.
The file "hangs" and after 1 - 3 mins, a box will tell me that the file doesnt exist and want to delete it.
Then the server "jumps" of the network, and i will have to restart my server to get acces.

This ONLY happens when i use WOL, not when i power on my server on the chasis.

Can anyone tell me, what can be wrong?

is there any chance of getting this to run on a keypress "h" i have tried key mapping to get it to run script but im just to thick it seems. i just want to be able to run this from xbmc commander as my router wont support WOL and my apple tv is always on

Would there be a way to send the packet when I exit the screen saver? I don't see why ppl would want to send the packet when XBMC boots, since I am always running XBMC. I really just need to send the packet when i wake up xbmc/ATV2

BTW, this is an amazing add-on. Thank you!

Hi!
I Need an Help....
How can start wol when I enter a specific section ... for example "movie/video section" from Home without select the operation from favourite menu?
Thanks! Luca

I use this on the latest version of openelec (eden based) beta 4 and it works well. However although I can get it to wake my server when I power up the openelec box, when the openelec box resumes from sleep it doesn't send a WOL packet to the server. Is there a way to do this?

Any idea how to do this - this would help a lot?
Thanks.

I cant seem to get this to work.

I took my MAC address from my unraid server and entered it but any time I start xbmc I get the Error on hostup-check error saying
it cannot find tower:8080.

I have started xbmc normally and got the message about admin rights so I ran xbmc as admin to see if the error would go away, which it did but I still got the hostup-check error

edit: I was adding my server name AND port. Silly
