And why?
Also, when you run your SCCLITool.exe script, are you using the SBR's mac address, or the SBC's? There are so many behavior differences between the 7.3.x SBC firmware and 7.4's and between SqueezeNetwork and MySqueezebox.com that nothing of what you describe may have anything to do with either SrvrPowerCtrl or SCCLITool.exe.

Unfortunately, SrvrPowerCtrl does no such thing, nor does any other plugin. ANY player's ability to WOL a server is completely dependent on it's own firmware. There is no way (that I know of) to 'externally' program any Squeezebox of any type with the mac address of the local SBS server. You can't even do this with Robin's Net-UDAP and the SBR. With most Squeezebox models, the firmware, on setup, captures the server's mac address by looking at the arp cache, I believe. Usually, if your player looses the ability to WOL your server, the solution is to perform a factory reset of the player and set it up again. After the initial connection to the local server, the player 'remembers' that mac address. A side effect of this behavior has always been that, if you have multiple SBS servers, the player only has the ability to WOL one of them. While a player may remember the name and ip address of the last server it was connected to, it only remembers the mac address of the *first* server it was connected to. This is how it worked with the 7.3.x firmwares, anyway. I will say this: with the SBC, because it is an actual 'computer', you can hack some of the scripts on it's OS so that it will WOL your server every time you turn the SBC on. I've done this when I've had WOL troubles with the SBC in the past. Also, there was a WOL applet for the SBC for the 7.3.x SqueezePlay platform. I don't know if it's been updated for 7.4. -- gharris999 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ gharris999's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=115 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48521 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
