[QUOTE="RoChess, post: 1287815, member: 18896"] And nobody has already created a WOL plugin for MediaPortal? That is where WOL functionality belongs, a dedicated WOL-plugin, not add it as a feature to MP-TVSeries, because then it would only benefit MP-TVSeries, and what about Moving-Pictures then? The WOL-plugin can simply detect, you are still actively using remote after 10pm and send a wake-up magic-packet to keep your NAS awake. Maybe it can do the irritating Netflix question "Are you still watching?".
