As the feature label suggests, only a *_shutdown_* event can be captured by the -Push players to alternate server on external shutdown- option. That's because Squeezebox Server itself is being stopped...and it lets Server Power Control know what's happening. An external suspend or hibernation does not stop Squeezebox Server so Server Power Control never gets clued in and is none the wiser in this situation.
Unfortunately, the kind of behavior you want to see is impossible given the limitations of perl, the language that Squeezebox Server and Server Power Control are written in. The problem lies in the fact that perl and the Win32 module that allows perl scripts to execute functions that are a part of the Windows operating system...the problem lies in the fact that no facility exists for perl scripts to monitor windows system messages. It's a windows system message, WM_POWERBROADCAST, that informs an application that the system is about to enter into sleep or hibernation. Perl (and thus Squeezebox Server & Server Power Control) are completely deaf to that message. The only way around this would be if I wrote a separate utility in C (the real language for windows development) that listened for WM_POWERBROADCAST messages and then sent a request to SrvrPowerCtrl via the CLI. That's doable, but not a high priority for me right now. -- gharris999 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ gharris999's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=115 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48521
