Failed to WakeUp host

    Hi

    I get Error popup

    Code
    MAC Discovery
Failed for Mediaserver

    when I turn on Settings/System/Power saving/Try to wake up remote servers on access

    Relevant 01_KODI.log records are

    Code
    10:25:06.255 T:1962090496  NOTICE: WakeOnAccess - Enabled:TRUE

    'MEDIASERVER' host Firewall switching off does not help

    # LibreELEC release: RPi2.arm-8.0.0

    Windows 10 KODI 17.0 wakes up this 'MEDIASERVER' host easily

    looks like a dns thing. have you set the dns server in kodi?

    Yes, I checked that two DNS servers were set in KODI LibreELEC by router dhcp.
    MEDIASERVER host is in local segment. Can it be found by broadcast?

    SBM for host 'MEDIASERVER' shares works fine, KODI can find server host by name so I think server host name is resolved to IP address but WakeOnLan can't do lookup
