The closest is PowerSave under show all 3rd party plugins. Running the latest version 7.5.1 and Win7. In other words, no luck so far. -- Kooorpen Kooorpen's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37379 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82162 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

Clear your browser cache, close your browser and reopen, go to setting again and look at all the various listings under plugin tab (recommended 3rd party, etc. etc.). The plugin is called server power control and author is gordon harris. -- garym garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82162 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

You should read the (very long) thread about it over in the 3rd Party Plugins forum. At a minimum, read the first post in that thread, where Gordon describes the plugin, including updates with new releases. One of the things the plugin will do (if you want, it's all configurable) is bring your server out of hibernate/suspend a couple minutes before an alarm is supposed to go off. As for automatically switching to mysb.com, it can do that if (a) you set the plugin to put the server to sleep after X minutes of inactivity by your SB(s), or (b) you shutdown the server via SrvrPowerCtrl. If your server just randomly crashes the SrvrPowerCtrl plugin will _not_ automatically kick the SB over to mysb.com. -- aubuti aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82162 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Why the need for 2 Server Types
I think the main reason is to have a backup server (mysb.com) in case your pc goes down. The radio still then has some functionality via mysb.com if your sbs server is down -- varunaX varunaX's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=40697 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82162 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
