[Plugin] [CLOSED] WOL-PowerManager (1 Viewer)

Re: AW: Re: [Plugin] WOL-PowerManager

The problem described beneath is solved . Seems that WOL isn't working on a/my pci NIC. Using my onboard NIC again (1Gbps pci vs. 100Mbps onboard :-( )

Thanks for the great plugin!



I just tried the plugin for the first time. Trying to save some power/money .

I found this plugin in my quest to get WOL working for my file serving pc.
Through the normal methods I read that my router (Linksys WRT 320N) has a nasty restriction: I can't forward any port through the broadcast channel (xxx.xxx.xxx.255).
Which I read is necessary for WOL to work through a router.

With the WOL plugin I hoped that this restriction wouldn't be a problem, hoping that the plugin worked through different ways.
But alas, with the plugin I wasn't able the awake my server. Could this be because off the limitations of my router?

I'm pleased to hear from you that it works. FYI: If you are in the same subnet as the other pc you want to wake up, there is no routing required. Only if you try to wake your pc over WAN (internet) or have diffrent subnets in your LAN you have to route UDP port.

Thanks for the info. I going to try it from a ip outside of my lan, now I know that its working locally.

I'm not sure if I get your question right. This plugin sends a WOL-Command to a Network Client, normally there is no password needed.
If you're talking about the windows share password. It has nothing to do with our plugin. For solving this issue you would just have to access the share folder in windows, enter your password and set it as default.

Hope this helps.

Is this plugin compatible with the final v1.2?

Hello ,

i think i need help, i'm in multiseat environment with 3 client and one tv server and one file server.

I can't manage to correctly setup the tvserver powermanaging.

Without wol powermanager installed tv server is waked during mp client starting and go to sleep when all the clients are powered off, as aspected when i have a client powered on (even the tv is stopped) the tv server stay waked up all the time until power off the client.

When install powermanager tv server everytime i stop tv the tv server goes to sleep, that is not correct. Differently seems fileserver is working ok.

how i can have to setup your plugin to let the behavior of tv server the same as before?


thank you bye

In your case, you shouldn't use WOL-PowerManager to wake up the TV Server. Only use it for FileServer (MovingPic, Music etc.) and let Mediaportal's TV-Client plugin wake your TV Server as you described in your first section of the thread above

Re: AW: Re: [Plugin] WOL-PowerManager

that is what i thought when i installed wolpowermanager, but even i configure in wol PM just the fileserver the behavior is exactly the same........

is it possible that wolPM interact with client powersheduler where it is installed? and in multiseat environment produce these odd results?

looking on the tv server powerscheduler logs seems nothing strange is logged.

thank you

 

[mrmojo666]

any idea?

Hi jojo1411,

How can MP server wake up my NAS when a scheduled recording starts (the mp server records to nas in my setup)? Is there a solution for me?

Thanks in advance.

I can't imagine why WOL-PowerManager should produce these odd results. The plugin only observes the entered Servers.
Are your TvServer and FileServer two different machines?

Please be sure that you delete the TV-Server not only from the plugin view, but also from the Server view. Also try to uncheck the interval ping in the extended preferences this could produce unwanted network activity.

Hey,
Unfortunately it's actually not implemented. But it's a really nice Idea for a future release. At the moment me and jojo are very busy, and we can't provide you that a release with new features will be published in the near future. But probably a time will come, where we have got more spare time for the development and I think your feature will get a high prio
Of course we welcome every participation in this project.
