deanhatescoffee 11 Posted November 27, 2015 Posted November 27, 2015 I have never been able to successfully wake my server PC from either the Emby Android app or the web app. I've tried connecting via WiFi and mobile network, neither works. I'm connecting via Emby Connect. Is there a guide that explains how to enable this functionality? I thought it was basically automatic as long as my network card's power settings are set up properly via Device Manager (I have ""Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" unchecked, "Allow this device to wake the computer" checked, and "Only allow a magic packet to wake the computer" checked [though I've tried leaving the magic packet unchecked to no avail]). Any ideas are appreciated. Thanks.
Luke 42079 Posted November 27, 2015 Posted November 27, 2015 The support in android is pretty limited at the moment, yes, but just so we're clear, the web version cannot support this as web apps aren't able to send out broadcasts.
deanhatescoffee 11 Posted November 28, 2015 Author Posted November 28, 2015 Good to know that the web version would never wake the PC. Do you have a recommendation for a good WoL Android app? There are several in the Play Store but I'd rather get a recommendation from someone in the Emby community if possible.

I've used DuckDNS and No-IP most recently but I don't have anything set up currently.
demonseed 44 Posted November 29, 2015 Posted November 29, 2015 I am currently using this one, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=co.uk.mrwebb.wakeonlan it can be setup as a widget to onclick wake your pc, best I recall it was very simple to setup as well.
