AlKaHall 4 Posted May 7, 2017 Posted May 7, 2017 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!) 1
Luke 42079 Posted May 7, 2017 Posted May 7, 2017 Hi, the desktop app already should have this ability. I will have to double check. The Windows Store app does not support this.
AlKaHall 4 Posted May 9, 2017 Author Posted May 9, 2017 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.
eraser8 55 Posted June 26, 2019 Posted June 26, 2019 I second this. An option beside shutdown to restart the HTPC would be appreciate. Great thanks
