SrvrPowerCtrl could send players off to mysqueezebox.com on an externally initiated shutdown, but not sleep or hibernation. I've been meaning to write a windows utility that monitors power states and warns SrvrPowerCtrl when sleep is pending, but I've never gotten around to it.
Remember: SrvrPowerCtrl is primarily designed for stand-alone audio servers and is designed to take over the function of system power management. While it can be used on a multipurpose machine (primarily in conjunction with the ReallyPreventStandby plugin and by disabling SrvrPowerCtrl's system idle monitoring) it's probably not going to provide you with a seamless experience. -- 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 [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
