Squeeze Ctrl already supports WOL, but it only sends the WOL packet right before it connects. After the server receives a WOL Packet it may take a few seconds for it fully wake up and be responsive so the connection from Squeeze Ctrl may not work right away, just disconnect and re-connect. WOL requires the MAC address of the server and for auto discovered servers, Squeeze Ctrl tries to discover the mac address as well. However Android does not have an official API for doing that and Squeeze Ctrl is able to discover the mac by reading a file that's available on Linux systems (Android is based on Linux). I'm not a Linux expert (I googled for mac discovery code), so I'm not sure if the code works on every version of Android. If the server does not seem to be waking up, try manually defining a server in Squeeze Ctrl. You can then enter the MAC address into that definition. -------------- Squeezebox apps for webOS, Android and Windows Phone, http://www.angrygoatapps.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ wt0's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18760 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96757 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
