Hi,
I'm running OpenELEC, Gotham on a Raspberry Pi, and am slightly confused as how Automatic Wake on Lan work.
I watch TV programs from a another computer on my network which is set to sleep whenever possible.
Auto WOL seems the answer to my issues about waking it.
When I turn on the PI, and open up the videos Auto WOL jumps in a wakes the remote computer and I can watch my files - everything works fine.
But, I don't turn off my PI and if the remote computer then sleeps (sometime later) XBMC doesnt pick this up and doesn't issue an automatic WOL command and I get an error when I try to play a video.
I was expecting it to issue a WOL command everytime I select videos, but that doesn't seem to happen.
Am I missing something?
Cheers.
