Serviio

It is really great that DLNA can wake my computer (media source) to browse and stream media when it is asleep in the other room, but wouldn't it be great if serviio had a feature like a checkbox that you could select which would keep your computer from going to sleep when it is streaming media. (or perhaps for 5 min after streaming is stopped)

It's a little annoying to have movies interrupted in the middle of a suspenseful scene because the computer in the other room went to sleep.

I am aware that there are options of advanced power settings which are supposed to deal with this, however, they don't seem to have any effect the way my computer is set up.

Utorrent has a checkbox in it's general preferences that, when checked, accomplishes this effectively. I'd love to see the same here.
(and I want to avoid setting my hibernate timer to 3 hours, just because I like movies. The computer would never be off)

There is already a feature ticket open for this and a possible way to do it logged, hopefully zip will get round to adding this in a future release.

Where can I see tickets? Thanks for responding. I look forward to it.

OK, I have a question that relates to this. I have been having a problem recently where my computer will no longer go to sleep, regardless of what I set the timer to. I need to do some more testing, but so far it only seems to happen AFTER I have watched a movie on Serviio. After a clean reboot of the PC, all is well and it goes to sleep normally. But after watching a video, it has total insomnia.

Was a change made in the last release that would have affected this? I'm all for keeping the machine awake WHILE it is streaming media, but once it's done, I really do need the thing to go back to sleep.

I still need to do more testing to confirm that it is indeed Serviio that is causing this, so please don't kill me if I'm wrong, I just wanted to ask the question to see if anyone else had noticed the same behavior.

Thanks.

No (conscious ) change has been made regarding this.
