Thanks for the honesty. The bottom line is: no. SrvrPowerCtrl doesn't fix this problem. This is a limitation of the new SBC 7.4 firmware and the differences between SqueezeNetwork and MySqueezebox.com.
This is really, really maddening, IMHO. Loyal Squeezebox users seemly had to badger the developers over the years to get WOL working reliably with SlimServer and SqueezeCenter and the 'ip3k' level players (SB2, SB3, Transporter) and the SBC. And with SC 7.3.4 and the 7.3 r6038 firmware for the SBC, the developers had succeeded. WOL mostly 'just worked'. The switch to SBS 7.4 has seemed like a huge step backwards in terms of WOL reliability. Last time I tried, there just didn't seem to be a way to wake the local server using the SBC when a player was "on" MySqueezebox.com. This is the kind of "just not thinking though the consequences" of a design change that I didn't think the Squeezebox developers would fall pray to. But they have. Sad and bogus, as they say. Unless the Squeezebox developers fix this obvious flaw in SqueezePlay (the SBC firmware), we'll have to wait until someone comes up with a Lua "applet" that lives on the SBC and reliably executes WOL requests. Unfortunately, the state of the documentation on how to develop such applets is, well, laughable. I'm too scared to try, anyway. Unless you're a big MySqueezebox.com user, you can always move back to SqueezeCenter 7.3.4. That's what I'm running. -- gharris999 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ gharris999's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=115 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72504 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
