WakeupManager

[mvallevand]

Is WakeupManager user callable as a way to wakeup the backend ie

Code:

WakeupManager.GetInstance().ScheduleWakeup("martinsUniqueKey", DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(10).ToUniversalTime());

It's not intended to be user callable. It's intended to be used from the recording service. The recording service makes a call like that for each recording when the service starts up.

You might be able to get it to wake the machine with that call form a plugin, but it'll only last as long as the process is running. ie, you'd need to call it every time the process is started, and if it isn't running, then the machine wont wake up.

Cool. I was exiting my utility leaving it running it does wake after sleep. I had to handle a new found unhandled error because DNS didn't start working quickly enough on wake, but my program does seem to work as expected.

Thanks

Coo. I'm planning to split my box into two, putting the server down in the cellar and was wondering about wake-up using a WOL script I've written. What is WakeupManager - is it built into the client?

[sub]

WakeupManager is a class in NShared.dll, which is used by the recording service to make sure the machine is awake at a certain time. As mentioned above, it'll only wake the machine if the calling process is still running though. If you exit the process, these wake requests are forgotten by the system.

Is there a way for me to use a script to trigger the sending of a WOL packet to the server, maybe a system event?

Will the NextPVR recording service wake up the server to do recordings? Do you need the server to be awake for something other than recordings?

There is nothing in NextPVR that does WOL. This is typically something you'd do outside of NextPVR.

Yes, I believe I need the server to be awake when I'm using the client to browse recordings, and schedule new ones. Is this not so (I've not used nPVR in client-server config before)?

Thanks sub - I'll using parallelprocessing.bat to trigger a WOL packet, if required.
