I tried the new version of the plugin last night, and have a few questions/observations:
1a) I tried to change the configuration to use WOSB.exe for timed wake-up. I had some strange issues at first trying to send the server into suspend from a player. I think it couldn't run the cmd, because it couldn't find wosb.exe on the path. When this happened, the cmd.exe process hung, blocking further SC processing. Took me a while to notice that there was a cmd.exe process. 1b) I had a problem entering quotes in the settings screen (i.e. WOSB is installed to a folder that I haven't got in my system path, so I was entering something like "P:\System Tools\Power Management\WOSB\WOSB.exe"). The command was truncated at the first quote I think, so I copied wosb.exe to C:\Windows\System32\. 2. I think it's likely that my Comodo firewall/defence software wasn't allowing the console commands to run, and I wasn't seeing the pop-ups on the server. So I ran the command in a console window manually first, accepted the pop-up firewall alerts, and then all was good. 3. However, when I suspend from a player UI, it seems to take a long time to actually suspend the server. I have the warning period set to 5 secs, but it takes about 40 secs (looking at the clock screensaver) for the suspend to happen. In previous versions it was very quick (1 sec after the warning period). 4. I tried playing some music, setting the player to sleep in 5 mins, and then invoking the suspend function. I have the option enabled to "Defer action if sleep timer is active". The player UI reported that it would suspend in 5 mins, but it instantly suspended. 5. The system woke up and played my alarm this morning, so that seems to work. However, when my playlist ran dry, it seemed as if my server went into suspend again. I need to confirm this, but there is a chance that something is iffy with wake up after suspend after sleep. -- Philip Meyer ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Philip Meyer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=95 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48521 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
