A little background:
I'm running Raspbmc on my Pi. Due to the low power requirements, I'm leaving it on permanently. All my media is on a fileserver that is off/suspended when not in use.
Is it possible to perform a system call to wake the server only when attempting playback of a video? Even if it doesn't wake quickly enough to play the file first time, I can simply try again. Ideally it would only send the WOL packet if the video is on NFS share and not iPlayer/youtube etc.
Is this feasible? Or should I simply do it manually via a shortcut in favourites?
Thanks.
