Prevent Standby is a formal part of SqueezeCenter. SrvrPowerCtrl is a 3rd party plugin originally written by Adrian (aka tenwiseman) and maintained and enhanced by me (with help from others) since SqueezeCenter 7.0. SrvrPowerCtrl in its current form, with some configuration tweaking, will be able to do exactly what you want to do. I should be posting a new version within a couple of days with some new features too.
