Keep computer awake

Hi. Great software. Thanks for developing it. I'm just trying it out. Donation may come later.

Several times I've been watching something, only to lose the signal because my computer goes to sleep. I don't want to set my computer to never sleep. Isn't there a way of keeping the computer awake just while the Serviio server is actively sending out data?

Thanks,

Mike

I don't think so because Java doesn't have access to most low level OS functions. There might be a utility on the net somewhere, I presume someone had the same idea before.

Thanks. Should have thought of googling for something to solve this problem. Found an app called Caffeine.

Anyone got any better solutions?

Cheers,
