NAS (3 Viewers)

Small question.
Since MEPO 2 apprently is dead, and i have to switch back.
Is there a way to ensure that the NAS will be started (WOL) to use it in MePo?

Regards

Is there a way to ensure that the NAS will be started (WOL) to use it in MePo?

In the "Videos" section in "MP Config", the "Video Folders" subsection allows you to specify the locations of one or more folders containing video files. Click "Add" to add a location, and a pop-up window appears on which you can enter NAS details (if the location resides on a NAS). There is also the "WOL parameters" button on the "Video Folders" panel.

When I tried to use this with my NAS, I could not get it to work, but I think that that was due to an authorisation problem. Instead I modified my skin's "Home" panel to have "Start NAS" and "Stop NAS" selections in the left side menu. I actually prefer this as I don't always want to access the NAS when using MP.

And just found out that "if" the NAS has turned off, MePo sends the WOL when i again try to access the shares.. Love that feature
