PlexConnect and Wake on WLAN

Dev Community Apps & Creations

Hi,

let me explain first my setup. I have an iMac, an AppleTV (3rd generation) and a Raspberry Pi 2 and I am using Bong.TV, an online video recorder. I am currently downloading recordings from Bong.TV to my iMac on a regular basis using RSS Feeds as iTunes Podcasts. Usually I do not use the iMac as an server, therefore I want to try to avoid that it is always on. Nevertheless, I have installed a PMS on the iMac for the following reason: I want to play the downloaded Bong.TV recordings via AppleTV. Thus I have installed PlexConnect, but due to the fact, that the iMac is not always on and PlexConnect acts as a DNS for AppleTV, I have installed it on my Raspberry Pi (using the Respberry Pi as a PMS turns out to be rather slow).

My question would be: It would be a great feature, if PlexConnect could just set an wake up call to my iMac, when I start the Trailer app at AppleTV. Would such a feature (maybe done by some extra setting ins Settings.cfg) be feasible?

Best regards,
Wartel

There is a thread about this: https://forums.plex.tv/discussion/197085/user-exits
So, yes, it can be done. :smiley:
I have never dealt with anything like that, though. So I am not the best resource to respond, I guess.

Also there is a topic here for OS X specifically if you want to do it manually:

Otherwise this is also built into OpenPlex.
