Hi,

I have improved this a little bit on the client-side:

First you need to install "hibernate trigger" (can be easily found with google)

then put wakeup.exe and the wait.exe into C:\windows (C:\WINXP etc)

Then make two .bat -files in C:\ :

wake.bat

[CODE]

@ECHO OFF

ECHO Starting server - please wait...

wakeup mac-adress (without - or :)

SET NetShareName=\\servername\sharename

:warten

wait 1

IF NOT EXIST %NetShareName% GOTO warten

net use %NetShareName% /delete

net use Z: /delete

net use Z: \\servername\sharename

ECHO Server ready - Starting MediaPortal...

cd "C:\Programme\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\"

start MediaPortal.exe

exit

[/CODE]

and sleep.bat

[CODE]

taskkill /im MediaPortal.exe

net use Z: /delete

[/CODE]

Put the paths in hibernate trigger and a link to the wake.bat in the auto-start-menu.

Now you have a much faster access (in general, not at the startup)  to the files stored in the server directory, because they are connected as a network device (Z:\).

IMPORTANT: Do not start MP when the server is off (can cause crashes), so always start it via the wake.bat (if you like, you can link it to the desktop).
