[QUOTE="Brownard, post: 1210381, member: 48291"] [B]What is this?[/B] A plugin to allow MP2 Clients to wake the MP2 Server machine automatically when a client starts/resumes from standby. Pending user feedback and testing it's planned to include this plugin in a future MP2 release. [B]What are the prerequisites?[/B] [LIST=1] [*]You must be running the latest available version of MP2 (MP2.1 Pre-Release) [*]The computer running the server must be able to be woken by WakeOnLan (WOL), this may require adjusting your network adapter settings and/or bios settings. [*]The client must be located on a different computer to the server, the plugin deliberately has no effect if the client and server are located on the same computer [/LIST] [B]How do I install it?[/B] [LIST=1] [*]Close the client [*]Download and extract the attached WakeOnLanPlugin.zip [*]Copy the extracted WakeOnLan.Client directory to the plugins directory of the client(s) ([I]C:\Program Files (x86)\Team MediaPortal\MP2-Client\Plugins[/I]) [*]Restart the client(s) [/LIST] [B]How do I configure it?[/B] Configuration should be fully automatic, all that is required is that the client and server are connected at least once after the plugin has been installed, i.e. [LIST=1] [*]Start the client and server and ensure they are attached/connected. Wait a few seconds for the settings to sync ("WakeOnLanClient: Updating server hardware address for IP address..." should be logged by the client) [*]Client should now wake the server during startup and when resuming if the server is asleep [/LIST] [B]How do I test it?[/B] After installation and the configuration steps above have been completed, ensure that the client wakes the server from sleep/standby appropriately and that no other issues are present. Particular testing is needed in IPv6 network environments and ensuring that clients are automatically configured correctly.

[/LIST] [/SPOILER] [SPOILER="Changelog v6 - 17/05/17"] [LIST] [*]Fix choosing incorrect entry from IPNET table [/LIST] [/SPOILER] [SPOILER="Changelog v7 - 30/05/17"] [LIST] [*]Send WOL packet on all available interfaces [/LIST] [/SPOILER] [/QUOTE]
