Currently there is no interaction at all between SPC and LightsOut. Apart from the things LightsOut is monitoring anyway like daily backups and hard disk activity, I have set it to monitor network activity of more than 8 KB/s. I have configured a timeout value of 20 minutes, so 20 minutes after I stop streaming any music, the server will hibernate. To make sure there is network load at all when I play music, I have switched all players to proxied streaming mode.
Since I never suspend the server, I removed the suspend command from the SPC settings. Selecting "suspend to mysqueezebox.com" now only pushes all players to mysqueezebox.com. I have set up idle player monitoring with a timeout of 15 minutes and no not-idle command, so before the server hibernates, the players are pushed to mysqueezenetwork.com. Additionally I have configured an end-of-day action that pushes all players to mysqueezenetwork.com before my wireless network shuts itself down. So far it is working really well. Alternatively, I could create and remove a lock file with SPC and have LightsOut monitor that, but because SPC starts the grace period again immediately after it expires, I was concerned that LightsOut would not find the time to shut down the server. And I like the idea of keeping the server awake while data is being transferred, anyway. This way, I don't have to keep the server awake just because the odd notebook is powered up. It will simply not hibernate as long as data is being transferred. The only downside is that network monitoring (and file monitoring) are features of the licensed version, so I will have to pay 15 bucks when the trial period is over, but I was planning to donate, anyway. -- mvordeme 'last.fm' (http://www.last.fm/user/mvordeme) | scaleo home server 2105 | squeezebox server 7.5.0 - r30464 | server power control 20100115.005818 | squeezebox boom & duet | rotel rsp-1066 | rotel rmb-100 | phonar p-5 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mvordeme's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=22892 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
