Emby Theater - Ability to Restart PC

[AlKaHall 4]

DId a search for "restart" and "reboot" and didn't see any earlier requests so apologies if this is a duplicate.

 

I use Emby Theater as a "10-ft UI" on three PCs and one of the things I miss from WMC is the ability to restart the computer with a couple button presses from the remote.  My PC doesn't always play nice with the HDMI connected to the amp pass-through to the TV and it just needs a restart to fix.  Gets to be a tedious process to shutdown via the menu and go downstairs to the server rack to press a button to power it back on.

A restart PC button in the menu strip with sleep and shutdown (or a modification to shutdown giving the option to restart or shutdown) would be beneficial.

 

(Been following the theater/mpv test thread and working with the betas and I have to say job well done.  Makes my live TV viewing, specifically sporting events, sooo much better to watch.  Using Ceton tuners with ServerWMC and it is a night and day difference with the new player.  Great job!)

Hi, the desktop app already should have this ability. I will have to double check. The Windows Store app does not support this.

Using the desktop app...all I see is:

Ok then yea maybe we never added restart.

I made a cmd file, pinned it to the task bar and reassigned a button on the media center remote to execute it.  A rudimentary workaround but it works and is helpful given the rapid releases over the last few days.

 

Granted, a button in the menu bar would be easier, but no big deal.

I second this. An option beside shutdown to restart the HTPC would be appreciate. Great thanks
