WOL packets from other wifi devices work on this network, which is why I'm wondering if kodi is defaulting to sending the packets via ethernet. Unfortunately, there is no etherwake or similar command on the libreelec build.

Thanks. I'm wondering if the fact that I'm using wifi is the problem, and that if I was using ethernet suddenly the packets would work

Thanks, but, been there, and followed the instructions. My question is - does it work in 8.2.4 on RPi? If so, I'll persevere.

Hi,

I've been very happily using LibreELEC on a RPi2 and now RPi3 with my Synology NAS. I'm using NFS shares on the NAS, accessing via IP address and everything has been working perfectly for years. I'm now on LibreELEC version 8.2.4.

I'm trying to set up the Wake on Lan settings, so that Kodi wakes up my NAS when it needs to access it. This way I can power down the NAS between uses. Wake-on-Lan on the NAS is working fine, and I can wake the NAS up almost instantly from any other computer on the network.

I'm getting the "Waking up Server" dialog, but my NAS is not receiving the magic WOL packet. If I manually wake up the NAS from another computer everything recovers. If I don't, then eventually, after the second wait, Kodi says that the file no longer exists and asks if I want to remove it from the library.

Looking though the forum, I found confusing statements as to whether the WOL function existed in LibreELEC. Can anyone confirm to me that it does? I don't mind debugging on my network, but not if I'm wasting my time.

Thanks in advance!
