Turn on Windows from Emby player?


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Using NVidia Shield Emby player with the server running on Windows.

Is there a way (or possibility in the future) to have the player wake up Windows if the Windows machine went to sleep?  WoL/WoWLAN?

Hi.  This option should already be there but we've had reports of it maybe not working on some TV devices.  When you attempt to connect to a server, if it doesn't respond, you will get a dialog asking you if you want to try to wake it.  You can also select wake from the long-press menu.

If that doesn't work, you can usually configure the network adapter on the server machine to automatically wake on any network traffic.
