I have RasPLEX on the Pi. perfect.

My Mac Mini runs as server.

&nbsp;

The Mac Mini goos to sleep when it is not used. I think green :)

&nbsp;

When RasPlex starts I see the folders of the media. so fare so good.

When I do not use the RasPlex for a hour or so the server is in sleep and the media is gone from the screen.

&nbsp;

I have to wake the server before the media is show again in RasPlex.

&nbsp;

In the past I used the add-on wake on LAN but it looks like this one is not available for RasPlex.

Does one of you has a solution for this.

&nbsp;

I don't mind my server go to sleep and having to wake from sleep when RasPlex becomes active again or when I start scrolling through the lines.

But having to reach for a second remote to wake the server&nbsp; :unsure:

&nbsp;

I could be a setting.

&nbsp;

please let me know.

&nbsp;

thanks.

&nbsp;

You’re searching for a SleepProxy-Server… (currently just available on Apple-hardware, built into mdnsresponder)  
  
But you could just code some bash scripts and use OpenELEC startup script hooks as a workaround.

Thanks for the replay but I do not understand \<\_\<&nbsp;

In Openelec I can download the plugin wakeonlan. this is not available in RasPlex.

Would it be possible to get the wake on Lan plugin installed on RasPlex. :mellow:

thanks,

It should be possible to install it manually (it may be necessary to switch to the confluence skin).
