Wake-On-Lan timeout options

[chunk1970 2]

Hi All,

I have recently moved to emby from Kodi and so far I am very much enjoying the ease of setup and maintenance.

Once small niggle I have is I have a ZFS server (Ubuntu 18.04) which isnt active 24x7 as I do not require it as its also a dual boot windows gaming machine. Default boot order is for ubuntu when a wake-on-lan request is received.

When the server is down and I start emby on my nvidia shield it starts my server as expected. The issue is that it times out quickly and I then have to select the server, select the user and enter my password. Which doesnt make for a fluid experience.

It would be very beneficial if there was a possibility to setup a timeout for wake-on-lan until it detects that the emby service is up and running.

That is my only quirk at the moment. So happy with the software I have already joined emby premier.

Hi.  Can you try sideloading our standard android app on the same device and see how that compares?

Thanks.

It has the same issues.

Is there any chance in the future a configurable timeout could be added.

Are you sure? It will require clicking on the server but if your login is saved then you won't have to go through the sign in process again.

Sorry meant the issue with the timeout. 

Its not a huge issue but a configurable timeout would be nice.

OK yes it's possible for future updates. Thanks for the feedback.
