Then you can do other things on the client, I do that on my clients, but with my own program, shouldn't that be a god thing?
I also have a program in my clients that starts the server if its sleeping, the program uses wake on lan feature.

I think this is the best solution yet. Why not make this a part of mediaportals power scheduler??
I device manager on my tvserver there are 3 options in the wake up capabilities of the network card.
1 link change
2 pattern match
3 wake on lan
If I use option 1 or 2 the server turns on and off the whole time even if I dont doo anything on any other computer. But if I use option 3 (wake on lan) it only turns on when I send it a magic packet. If you could get mediaportal to send a magic packet every time it was needed it would be great... And would work 100%
