[x86-64] TVHeadEnd Wake-on-LAN not working

  • Generic nightly builds after 2025-08-25-288f19b : this build is the last one where waking a configured external tvHeadend server is successfully awakend vial WOL.

    Builds after that cannot do that any more.

    Tested with 2 NUC11 with different Eth chips (Realtek vs Intel)

    Raspi-4 builds still do successful WOL to the server, so seems only a intel hw issue.

  • BTW, I don't think this actually a client issue, since nothing much has changed there. I now tend to think that this might have to do with eth drivers/kernel settings.

    Any one any ideas?

    like I said, builds back from Aug 25 continue to issue wols.-

  • No disrespect, but until i find a way to send only specific logs around the faulty component/timeframe that's not gonna happen. The logs contain too much stuff that's none of anyone's business and also beyond my internet quota.

    In this specific case I am guessing that logging the timespan around enabling of a previously configured (with the ip and mac address to wol to) hts-client would suffice.

    I've already come to live with the fact that the Intel Platform is doomed to die in the media community rather sooner than later so I can live one more bug/regression.

    i can however of course show you the fact that was logged in KODI.log:
