Ability to send "magic packet" for TV-server WOL (1 Viewer)

Summary:
I just noticed that the default behaviour of the MyTV plugin is to ask for the TV-server IP when it cannot connect. I don't think this is the best behaviour.

Description:
I would like to have a configurable option which asks med whether I would like to
wake up the server and then reconnect in say (s0-60 seconds).

The only problem I can see is if you have a farm of servers, which one do you wake up (I guess it's the master)?

How's that for an idea?

I dunno how it works in .net but the MAC-address of the TV server should should not be impossible to extract when setting up the connection.
If there isn't an easy way it might be a confgurable value as well.

I might have a look at putting this WOL into the TV-plugin if i can find the right place in the code.
