I don't know enough about the protocol to really say. The SB3, while it looks like a clock, isn't a clock. I think everything having to do with time display on the SB3 happens on the server in SqueezeCenter. The SB3 is just a dumb display, as far as I know. The Boom, on the other hand, has a RTC and functions like a real clock. I assume that all future Squeezebox player products will have this feature.
But, yes, my experience in configuring NICs to trigger a wakeup on more permissive conditions has always resulted in too many spurious wakeups. So I limit my NIC config to magic-packet only. For windows folks, there is a nice, free command-line magic-packet tool called wolcmd.exe which you can use in batch files to wake up your server: http://www.depicus.com/wake-on-lan/wake-on-lan-cmd.aspx Here's the batch file I use to launch a SqueezeCenter Chrome app. It first checks to see if the server responds to a ping and, if it doesn't will attempt to WOL it: scwakeup.cmd: Code: -------------------- @echo off set SCIP=192.168.0.100 set BDCSTIP=192.168.0.255 set SCMAC=AABBCCDDEEFF :checkwake echo Checking scserver status.. ping %SCIP% -n 1 -w 10 >NUL 2>&1 if errorlevel 1 goto wakeup goto awake :wakeup echo SCServer is asleep...attempting to wake it up.. %windir%\util\wolcmd.exe %SCMAC% %BDCSTIP% 255.255.255.0 7 >NUL 2>&1 %windir%\util\sleep.exe 17 goto checkwake :awake echo SCServer is awake! start "SC" %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe --app=http://%SCIP%:9000/ %windir%\util\sleep.exe 3 -------------------- To use this, fix up the values for the SCIP, BDCSTIP and SCMAC variables with your particulars. I keep a shortcut to this batch file on my windows quick-launch tool bar. That way, I never have to compensate for the server being asleep. Any attempt to visit the SqueezeCenter web interface via this batchfile will wake the server, if necessary. The sleep.exe utility referenced in the batch file is a free utility included in the Windows 2003 server RTK...which is a free download from Microsoft. -- gharris999 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ gharris999's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=115 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48521 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
