I have to disable general WOL access, leaving only Magic Packets being able to wake it up, on my server computer as otherwise it just keeps waking back up right after putting it to sleep.

It seems like XBMC WOA switched from sending a magic packet to a generic wol packet? In any case, is there anyway to fix this?

Sorry for late reply but, no, there has been no change - it is and has always been a magic packet transmission. Please post debug log and I will have a look.

At the moment I'm having issues with XBMC and WOL with an iMac.
WOL is very particular on a Mac and I believe has to go via a Bonjour sleep proxy, anyway thats not a problem as my router is an Airport Extreme.

It is also very particular about what it will Wake Up to for file sharing.
NFS Sharing and trying to wake the Mac does not work, however initiating a WOL for a SAMBA share (port 445) from XBMC does work to keep the Mac awake.
I can then access the NFS shares whilst the Mac stays awake.

I have modified the wakeonlan.xml file to pingport 445 for SAMBA.

Is it at all possible to do a spoof WOL and wake up my Mac via port 445 if I select a NFS Share (port 2049) in XBMC ?

Accessing NFS should wake your server, please post log if it does not. The ports used for ping is used only for ping, not wakeup.

First WOA to a SMB Apple Extreme server is a success

WOA to the Mac via NFS always fails even though it reports success...
Tried -

OK, I dont know what happens but there are 2 explanations I can think of ;
1. The iMac OS (OSX?) is sleeping but not very deep so it is able to respond to the ping? Just speculating, I dont know those Apples very well (not at all , in fact) Is a mode like that possible on an Apple??
2. WakeOnAccess does a DNS-Lookup to figure out the IP-address and afterwards which network the server must be on (so it knows the magix packet goes out on the right NIC). If DNS-Lookup for some reason returns the ipaddress of another (running) machine then something like this could happen. Could you try to map the NFS-path by servers ip-address instead of name and see if that works? (192.168.1.X instead of 'Monkeys-iMac.local')

Thanks for looking into this, I have tried pretty much everything, I.P. addresses instead of local path names etc.

It appears to be a long running known issue with NFS sleep/wake when running on OS X that Apple knows about and for some reason refuses to fix in at least the last 3 OS X releases.

Its all detailed in these two threads if other Apple users want to know whats going on.

I've just started using this after sorting out my servers for WOL

How do I get XBMC to scan my library on start up but after the servers have woke up?

I thought <netinittimeout>40</netinittimeout> would make it wait 40 seconds before scanning but it doesn't.

Here is my wakeonlan.xml:

Code:
<onaccesswakeup>

    <netinittimeout>40</netinittimeout>

    <netsettletime>1000</netsettletime>

    <wakeup>

        <host>TOWER</host>

        <mac>40:16:7e:ad:e6:74</mac>

        <pingport>22</pingport>

        <pingmode>0</pingmode>

        <timeout>300</timeout>

        <waitonline>40</waitonline>

        <waitonline2>40</waitonline2>

        <waitservices>5</waitservices>

    </wakeup>

    <wakeup>

        <host>TOWER2</host>

        <mac>00:1B:21:0B:6A:F8</mac>

        <pingport>22</pingport>

        <pingmode>0</pingmode>

        <timeout>300</timeout>

        <waitonline>40</waitonline>

        <waitonline2>40</waitonline2>

        <waitservices>5</waitservices>

    </wakeup>

</onaccesswakeup>

Just enable it, if server is awake then it will run at once, else it will wake server and then proceed

It's working. I had server issues.

A skin or an addon is trying to access a database called FSK090, but I don't know what that might be.

JonSnow88 · 2015-04-15, 05:41

Does the timeout keep the server active? I have the server set to go to sleep after 5 minutes, so if a video is not playing the server will go to sleep, the server is also being used for MySQL. I would like to know if this sends a ping to the server to keep it active for as long as kodi is running?

No, it allows server to suspend and wakes it up again just-in-time only when you need it (when you do something on Kodi that requires server-access).

- This is in fact a main point of having it included into the core of Kodi - if you just needed to wake and keep awake a server it could easily be solved with an add-on. The other main point is the ability to prevent startup-hang because of unavailable MySQL-server.

pettergulbra · 2015-04-15, 12:55

Hi

I have added the wakeonlan.xml with the right info. And it works nicely.

But my machine with Win7 takes a long time to boot from S3 state. Is there an way to make this go faster?

So if I leave kodi on the home screen for 5 minutes, the server will suspend but as soon as I try to access a library it will wake it up?

t4_ravenbird · 2015-04-16, 08:45

Yes.
Unless something is wrong and then you need to post a log (wiki)

One more question, I added a second NIC card to my server will this work to send WOL packet to both cards?

Code:
<onaccesswakeup>

    <netinittimeout>5</netinittimeout>

    <netsettletime>500</netsettletime>

    <wakeup>

        <host>10.0.0.6</host>

        <timeout>300</timeout>

        <waitonline>40</waitonline>

        <waitonline2>15</waitonline2>

        <waitservices>5</waitservices>

    </wakeup>

    <wakeup>

        <host>10.0.0.7</host>

        <mac>XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX</mac>

        <pingport>3306</pingport>

        <pingmode>1</pingmode>

        <timeout>300</timeout>

        <waitonline>40</waitonline>

        <waitonline2>15</waitonline2>

        <waitservices>5</waitservices>

    </wakeup>
