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

Why when I run some other XBMC Program add-ons does the Advanced WOL add-on keep popping up the notification saying Waiting for WHS to wake up....

Thanks

So if i using the advanced settings file with the mysql connection xbmc stop and hangs here"14:20:18 T:3352 NOTICE: Running database version Textures13"
and the awol script get executed later is there a way the script gets executed before running the database??

I've got a similar issue I am also using MYSQL on my WHS server, the server is set to sleep when no HTPCs are active. If I set the HTPC to sleep, when I turn on the HTPC (resume from sleep), XBMC will launch and the WOL add-on will send the magic packet to the server OK to wake it up.

However if I set the HTPC to S5 shutdown instead of sleep and if the WHS server is asleep, when I power on the HTPC from shutdown XBMC does not start and I just get a black screen, in this case I have to manually turn on the WHS and then eventually the black screen on the HTPC will disappear and XBMC will load when the WHS is up and running.

The only way I can see a work around is if a magic packet was sent lower in the startup process of Ubuntu before XBMC is even loaded but not sure how to set that up.

I would like to know how to do this also, I am using Ubuntu 12.10 minimal.

Thanks.

I am also seeing the behviour where the AWOL runs when another add-in is started. Is there a way to have it only run on startup?

I run openelec and tvheadend on one pc and have just started using the standby option when the pc is idle. I have now started using xbmc on a tablet and this addon works great for waking up the pc. My issue is that the pc will go sleep if xbmc or tvheadend on it are idle for 10 minutes (which is what i want) but what i would like to happen is for as long as xbmc is running on the tablet it keeps it awake on the pc. Anyone if its possible to do this (like awol somehow reseting the shutdown timer)?. The continuous wake on lan option does not keep the pc awake.

Have a look at these:
