Hi Mandark, today I installed the WOL addon. I did the right configuration to wake-up my Synology NAS; I entered both MAC address and IP number of the NAS. After starting XBMC I see that the device is 'awake' according to the addon. But when I start browsing the filesystem on the NAS (eg. from the music or video menu), I have to wait for the NAS to become ready.
In the XBMC debug-log nothing special is mentioned from the WOL addon.
Can you give me some advise how to solve the problem: how to wakeup the Synology ?
Regards Michel

Any chance of starting advanced wol via script when opening a folder in XBMC? How can I assign a wol-script to a folder with mac of the server which should be wol'ed?
Kind regards

Hi
I have just installed xbmc on windows 8 for the first time and copied the userdata folder over from another win 7 installation (i have done this across a few win7 installs & the awol has been unaffected). It all works great but i get the ping admin error with this addon. Not had it before with windows. It doesn't really matter but it would be nice to get the positive message like my other installs! I am the admin but is it something to do with xbmc being launched as a user and not admin?

Has anyone found that the feature to enable a media update after the Server is awake no longer functions when using the Gotham final build...?
Even though the utility wakes up my server I find that the update to the video library will no longer occur even though I have selected that option. It worked fine in Frodo.

XX-XX-XX etc .
Not with XX:XX:XX etc. no idea why ;(
And I need to run XBMC under Windows as admin, why? Or is there a way around it?

Thanks to this thread and the magnificent AWOL-Addon I managed to add 3 awol-entries to my favourites. Is there a possibility to call awol with different parameters? I have a NAS that wakes up in 60 sec and another that need 110 sec, so I'd like to pass these wait-times individually for the concerning mac-adresses.
Thanks a lot for your support.

Hi
I am trying to set this up so I can wake two servers. The first I can set up in the add-on settings dialogue but how can I get two servers to boot up when kodi starts as there is no where to enter more than one in the dialogue..
I tried setting up the second as a favorite but that doesn't seem to work and also requires additional steps after bootup.
Any help appreciated.
