hi kolossos4730, I am glad you are enjoying piCorePlayer ;) Steen came up with a great idea for this little niche product! Great to see you using the "Tweaks > User commands ". We were hoping it would make it easier for everyone to add a unique features. I have never played with WOL, it seems like a nice feature. I might try and add WOL to the Tweaks page if that is OK. (I may need you to test it.) So I guess most PCs, MACs and laptops have WOL, but what about Raspberry Pis? Is it a function of the computers network card and "soft" on/off power switch? regards Greg ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Greg Erskine's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7403 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97803 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
