On Bugzilla you may have noticed that the original bug report goes back to 2008. Perhaps you have your idle timeout set quite long (mine is on just 10 minutes)? The problem originally was with the SB Server letting Macs go to sleep when the idle timer expires. This led third party plugin developers (notably Gordon Harris with ReallyPreventStandby) to step in. That plugin itself has not been ideal (on the Mac, repeatedly spawning a utility try and keep the Mac from sleeping) and Gordon has acknowledged limitations on this thread. Before Mountain Lion, the behaviour (most of the time) was that once woken up from sleep by a Squeezebox the server would stay awake until the idle timeout. Now with ML it seems that if the Mac was already in idle sleep then it will not wait another idle timeout period. Also, the scheme used by ReallyPreventStandby no longer works. So yes, more people are now noticing that LMS fails to tell OSX to stay awake while playing with Mountain Lion, but the fundamental problem has been around for a long time. Since OSX 10.6 developers have been given a simple way to indicate that the idle sleep setting should be ignored. Now with 10.8 this has become critical. To see what iTunes does while playing run pmset -g in a command window. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ nonnoroger's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=35581 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=95980 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
