Hey.

I want to wake up my server, with WOL and update the library, from my Raspberry PI. I found a script here:
http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=135074&page=2

But the script is not waking my server and giving me a permission error. The thread is dead so i was hoping some of you great python coders could help me out with a simple thing.

I suspect it is because of the way magic packages is being sent. I can wake up my server by doing:

etherwake "MAC-ADDRESS"

And i tried switching the above command instead of this:

Code:

#Send wakeup packet
msg = '\xff' * 6 + hw_addr * 16
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM)
s.setsockopt(socket.SOL_SOCKET, socket.SO_BROADCAST, 1)
s.sendto(msg, ("255.255.255.255", 9))

But im getting this error:

Code:

root@raspberrypi:/opt# python wol2.py
  File "wol2.py", line 83
    etherwake 44:1e:a1:3e:bc:30
               ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Here is the script im talking about:

Code:

#!/usr/bin/env python

settings = {
    'hostname': '192.168.1.50',
    'port': '8080',
    'username': '',
    'password': '',
    'mac_address': '44:1e:a1:3e:bc:30'
}

http_address = 'http://%s:%s/jsonrpc' % (settings['hostname'], settings['port'])
username = settings['username']
password = settings['password']

try:
    import json
except ImportError:
    import simplejson as json
import urllib2, base64, time, socket, struct

class XBMCJSON:

    def __init__(self, server):
        self.server = server
        self.version = '2.0'

    def __call__(self, **kwargs):
        method = '.'.join(map(str, self.n))
        self.n = []
        return XBMCJSON.__dict__['Request'](self, method, kwargs)

    def __getattr__(self,name):
        if not self.__dict__.has_key('n'):
            self.n=[]
        self.n.append(name)
        return self

    def Request(self, method, kwargs):
        data = [{}]
        data[0]['method'] = method
        data[0]['params'] = kwargs
        data[0]['jsonrpc'] = self.version
        data[0]['id'] = 1

        data = json.JSONEncoder().encode(data)
        content_length = len(data)

        content = {
            'Content-Type': 'application/json',
            'Content-Length': content_length,
        }
  
        request = urllib2.Request(self.server, data, content)
        base64string = base64.encodestring('%s:%s' % (username, password)).replace('\n', '')
        request.add_header("Authorization", "Basic %s" % base64string)

        f = urllib2.urlopen(request)
        response = f.read()
        f.close()
        response = json.JSONDecoder().decode(response)

        try:
            return response[0]['result']
        except:
            return response[0]['error']


xbmc = XBMCJSON(http_address)

mac_address = settings['mac_address']
addr_byte = mac_address.split(':')
hw_addr = struct.pack('BBBBBB',
    int(addr_byte[0], 16),
    int(addr_byte[1], 16),
    int(addr_byte[2], 16),
    int(addr_byte[3], 16),
    int(addr_byte[4], 16),
    int(addr_byte[5], 16)
)


#Send wakeup packet
msg = '\xff' * 6 + hw_addr * 16
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM)
s.setsockopt(socket.SOL_SOCKET, socket.SO_BROADCAST, 1)
s.sendto(msg, ("255.255.255.255", 9))

#Sleep for 2 minutes
time.sleep(120)

#Send scan request
xbmc.VideoLibrary.Scan()

#Sleep for 5 minutes
time.sleep(300)

#Shutdown
xbmc.System.Shutdown()

What are my options?

Thanks alot for the help!
