Hi all, i cannot find a real answer to this so i’m asking :

i have just bought a pi2 to use rasplex, i have pms on my windows pc. Installed yesterday rasplex 0.7.1 and it’s working great !

Problem : my media disks on server are always spinning, generating of course unwanted power consumption/wear/heat 7/24. I can see that rasplex is always reading something from the server

How can i fix this ? I cannot power off and on the pi with the chord, i have kids and a wife that use it you know 🙂

I found a solution for those interested : disable the “search for plex libraries” and the “update deck and recommendations” in settings and your disks will spin down !

Great !
