Wake on Access issues. - sebs - 2014-10-20 Hello, I use the latest stable Gotham build on an Ubuntu HTPC that uses the media from my Windows 7 desktop share. This has worked without problems for several months. Since some weeks the following problem occurs though: - I want to play a file, but XBMC starts the Wake on LAN process although my Desktop is online and I can access the SMB share. - If I wait then, XBMC will report that it failed to wake up my dekstop (that is running anyway) and file can not be found. It then asks if i want to remove that file from library (no!). - If i try to play the file again it now works without problems. - After watching this video it get thrown back to the main menu and not like usual to the episode list. - Next time i want to play a video the same problem may occur. - I can cancel the Wake on Lan process instantly and play the video just fine afterwards aswell. I get this problem nearly every time i want to play a File. Sometimes it just works fine though but i can't figure out why that is. Debug log Maybe someone has i clue what this is causing or can help me fix it. Greetings Sebs RE: Wake on Access issues. - Fry7 - 2014-10-20 Can you try to ping Win 7 from Ubuntu? If you are getting timeouts, then you need to check your Win 7 firewall settings (make sure that your local network is defined as a private one) and/or need to asure that the Ubuntu machine is member of the same workgroup as the Win 7 desktop. You may also consider using your HTPCs IP instead of its dns name, just to avoid possible problems there. Your log indicates kind of a blocked network... Code: NOTICE: WakeOnAccess timeout/cancel while waiting for network RE: Wake on Access issues. - sebs - 2014-10-20 Thanks for your Answer Fry7. Ping works just fine using Hostname or IP. Windows 7 network is set to private and both systems are in the same workgroup. This setup used to work just fine and i haven't changed any network configuration that i am aware of. RE: Wake on Access issues. - sebs - 2014-10-20 Ok i just noticed something: I added my video sources in XBMC by "browse Windows Network (SMB) > Workgroup > MACHINE (My desktops hostname) > TvShows Now i added the same source by adding manual sbm path with the ip sbm//:192.168.178.22/TvShows. After adding that sources there showed up two notifications. First: Mac discovery failed for MACHINE Second: Mac discovery succesfull for 192.168.178.22 (Ip of MACHINE) Gonna try to change all my sources and see if the problem persists. RE: Wake on Access issues. - Fry7 - 2014-10-20 Btw: you could do that without Kodi by editing your sources.xml directly: Code: <sources> A little faster RE: Wake on Access issues. - t4_ravenbird - 2014-10-20 It looks like this is because of name instead of ipaddress, yes. There is a fix under way for that problem, here ; https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/5341 I hope/suppose it goes into Helix RE: Wake on Access issues. - jhspyhard - 2020-07-22 This thread hasn't been touched in a while. I am hoping there is going to be someone still maintaining it who might be willing to comment and help. I have a slightly weird topology. Bear with me while I describe it. I have a NAS with:
The way that I want my Kodi setup is so the player's data comes from nas.l33ch.xh; and WOL / WOA requests are sent to 192.168.10.50 address. That is to say, I want WOL/WOA traffic to stay in the same subnet as the player, and all other media data should come from the other subnet. I would have thought this should work by defining my wakeonlan.xml file (see below) with simply a mismatched MAC address for the NAS. That didn't seem to work. I have confirmed that the Code: ether-wake 00:1F:33:EA:4D:DF My wakeonlan.xml file: /storage/.kodi/userdata/wakeonlan.xml Start Log: Debugging Start Log + WOA Access attempt * Before anyone suggests it, I do understand that switching everything to a single subnet and makes this much easier and does work, although this is something I am trying to intentionally avoid doing. Thanks preemptively for your help and feedback. |
