Thanks for the info. I think this explains why my server was kept awake! SqX is running in the task tray and open it from there. It appears that the native SB players are configured to only send WOL packets on power on or right arrow i.e. browsing the library. http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/Wake_on_LAN Is there any chance this could be mirrored in SqX i.e. it only sends a WOL packet if there's server activity required from the browser? RE: the "Player" on/off switch, maybe it could be labelled Current Player to differentiate it from Local SqX Player, or else consider removing it if it doesn't serve much useful function? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mr-b's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10044 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108550 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
