Hello Matt,

Is it possible to keep the chromebox alive (without disabling auto suspend) as long as it is serving a file to a different client via smb.

As it is, if the suspend time comes and you are watching something from a second client, it will still go to sleep.

This is in addition to no apparent hard drive spindown on sleep. I am testing a possible solution for the spindown problem now. The suspend has me stumped.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Sounds like an OS or Kodi issue, not really Chromebox specific. I'd start a new thread in the Linux support forum.

Well, it is fair to assume it is an Openelec issue. I haven't tried with other hardware, except the Win7 pc that was pulling NAS duty. I thought perhaps it was a bios thing (not recognizing the box was serving a file), but fair enough...I'll try and get an answer on the OE chat.

Thanks.
