Thx t4_ravenbird for this excellent patch!
I have successfully rebuild my XBMCUbuntu bin file to include this patch.
I am using a network MySQL database on my NAS(Thecus) for my xbmc databases and thx to this I can now wake the NAS before XBMC boots.
I think people who are using network MySQL databases on devices that go to sleep know about the problem that XBMC won't boot without the MySQL server being accessible.
I am also using pathsubstitutions for my sources.xml / rssfeeds.xml which are stored on the same NAS.
However because my NAS boots up very slow these are not available yet when XBMC has booted.
Hence they are not applied.
Would it be possible to integrate some kind of wait command/parameter after the WOL packet has been sent?
Maybe even with a little animation or perhaps even a ping check to see if the unit is alive?
