Emby WOL feature

I'm having an issue with Wake On Lan. 

 

I'm in the process of moving my Emby server to another device. However somehow, when logging in at the server selection screen, my new server does not show the option 'wake server'.  Am I just missing some obvious option anywhere?

 

The device itself is working fine and Wake on Lan works through my router for example.

Hi, what Emby app are you using that you're not seeing the wake server option with?

Android Emby app, that is not the issue however, alas, since in that same app my current servers shows the 'wake server' option, the other one doesn't.

Have you signed into that server from the android app?

Here is the example, this one was from the windows app. Literally the option is just missing.

 

I have tried adding the server through emby connect and also adding it by local ip. Either way it doesn't show.

Yes I have signed in from the android app as well.

The only thing I can think of is that server is not able to determine it's mac address information and that's why this is happening. I would try signing out and back into the app one more time. if that doesn't do it then please attach the emby server log. thanks.

Somehow after 2-3 tries of logging in/out again, it just now appeared, I thought let's check one last time and voila there it was!

 

So I guess it's resolved, thanks!

It's possible it might take a couple times logging in. I'll look into improving that. Thanks.
