PrincessClevage 173 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 This FR is to have WOL (magic packet) intergrated into top three Emby remote clients (to start with) and ideally would wake Their default Emby server upon launch. The servers Nic hosting Emby server would need to support WOL and magic packet (combination of WOL packet and Nics MAC address), there are many open source WOL apps that may get possibly be helpful with this FR. I you would like to raise the priority of this FR please add your like to the original post. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkassassin07 432 Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 (edited) I definitely support this, would give me a legitimate reason to use the apps over the browser. Though the problem with the android apps never disconnecting from the server would have to be fixed at the same time. Theres no point being able to wake a server that cant ever sleep because of malfunctioning apps Edited October 7, 2017 by darkassassin07 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres no point being able to wake a server that cant ever sleep because of malfunctioning apps From reading the Android threads I believe that Luke is attempting to address this.

Luke 37156 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 The latest versions of Emby for Android and Emby for Windows Store now have Wake On Lan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T800 9 Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Will we ever be able to wake other content servers from Emby? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37156 Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Why do you need to do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T800 9 Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 (edited) I've got a 16 disk 50+TB server for Movies that I like to sleep when not in use. Currently, I either have to have to keep it awake all the time or sleep it and if I want to watch something use a shortcut in Kodi or if using just the Emby app use a WOL app on my phone. If I'm not at home I have to vnc/teamviewer into the PC running Emby and use a WOL application to wake the server. If it's the wife or the kids they have to whatsapp me to do it. I can't schedule a library scan because if the server is asleep it wipes all the content from the library that is on the server, so again I either have to leave it awake or do the whole, Kodi/WOL app/teamviewer thing when I want to run a scan. Ideally, a setting for each path, if you select WOL for that path when you try to watch or scan it sends a WOL packet and waits a set amount of time and then tries to access it or scan for new content.

Luke 37156 Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Ok, I suppose that's always possible for the future. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
