I like this approach. So what this means is that for a new server (or changing to a different one), I would not attempt WOL. Then once I do connect get the MAC address from it, and do WOL whenever I reconnect if needed. Question: Can the server go to sleep while Squeezelite-X is connected? Do I need to send anything to server to keep it awake?
