MediaPortal Version: 1.4.0
Description
While doing some testing to help @Sebastiii with his patch for mantis 4477 I have mentioned that the WOL-timeout value is not respected be the MePo client..
The timeout feature is described here:
http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_...n/MediaPortal_Configuration/22_TV/1_TV_Client
I have configured a timeout of 10 seconds.
The logs show:
In case of a MePo Start:
ca. 8,5 sec.
In case of MePo resuming from S3:
< 1 second.
The resume case is the critical one. In many cases MePo tries to send the WOL before the networkinterface is up and running.
This could be the reason for the problem that some users have described who are wanting the "restart on resume feature" back.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Check the timeout value in the client configuration
2. Start the client
3. compare the timestamps in the mediaportal logfile
4. send the client to standby
5. resume it
6. compare the timestamps in the mediaportal logfile again
