I don't know if I should be posting this in the Windows section since I don't use kodi on a windows machine, so my apologies if this is the wrong section.

I have a RPI2 and a Windows 10 desktop that I use as a video source via SMB shares. Since I care about my electric bill I have my desktop sleep after 15 min. of inactivity. I have set up my RPI2 to wake the PC when it needs something with the help of these wakeonlan.xml settings:

Code:

<onaccesswakeup>
   <netinittimeout>60</netinittimeout>
   <netsettletime>1000</netsettletime>
   <wakeup>
       <host>10.0.0.22</host>
       <mac>MY-MA-CA-DD-RE-SS</mac>
       <pingport>0</pingport>
       <pingmode>0</pingmode>
       <timeout>900</timeout>
       <waitonline>38</waitonline>
       <waitonline2>40</waitonline2>
       <waitservices>5</waitservices>
   </wakeup>
</onaccesswakeup>

The wakeonaccess works fine and that is not the problem, but after, for example, a scheduled library update has finished and the RPI2 is idle again the w10 machine doesn't go to sleep after 15 min. What I found out through running this command in the windows command prompt "powercfg -requests" that there is an active remote client active that prevents it from sleep:

Code:

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.10586]
(c) 2015 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

C:\WINDOWS\system32>powercfg -requests
DISPLAY:
None.

SYSTEM:
[DRIVER] \FileSystem\srvnet
An active remote client has recently sent requests to this machine.

AWAYMODE:
None.

EXECUTION:
None.

PERFBOOST:
None.


C:\WINDOWS\system32>

I also use the auto library updater on the RPI2 to run every 3 hours and it runs for example at 3am in the morning which no user activity is going on. What I learned from this, is that the driver request that prevent it from sleep goes away after 75-80 minutes and the W10 machine can sleep again. So the server sleeps but not after the normal 15min. of idle time, but after 75-80 minutes (when the request goes away).

I have searched for hours and found multiple "solutions" for this problem, but none of them works:
- disabled Homegroup
- disabled the service: wmpnetwk.exe
- Several power options like "allow the computer to sleep when sharing media"
- probably alot more that i forgot

There is one solution that worked. Overriding the request with this command:

Code:

powercfg -requestsoverride DRIVER \FileSystem\srvnet system

But this is not the way it should be, beause then it also sleeps when I'm streaming a movie and that is not an option.

Might be a relevant piece of kodi log:
