you are asking that margro's plug-in send a sort of ping command to see if the server is online, if not to wake it up and wait
if yes to launch the pvr add-on.
it's a lot of complication and source of bug for margro imho.
I used wolcmd when my server was with Windows XP, now i'm using a plug in for WHS2011 to do that and it works perfectly.
I power my client computer, it wakes the server, wait 5sec to launch xbmc and everything plays nice.
You're asking margro to spend hours to find a way to do what you're asking, when there is a solution that will cost you 5 min !!!!!
I guess it would be up to Margro if he thinks such a feature would be a positive benefit to the addon. Your solution is great @solara and I will probably use it on my Windows box. I was just looking for (and suggesting) a cross-platform solution because I and probably a lot of other users use a mix of devices and would love to see this functionality.
