I have found a workaround solution for waiking up nas storage.

1.
Install busybox using community installer, just search this forum for a link to page

2.
Create file :NAS-start.cgi on root of your HDD mounted in popcorn.
Paste code below inside NAS-start.cgi, change mac addres of your NAS server instead <i>put_mac_addres_here</i> and save file.
Remember it is a linux system so before saving convert it to linux format - there are some differences in reading endline char ... I think ....

Code:

#!/bin/sh

MARKER="#M_A_R_K_E_R_do_not_remove_me" 

start()

{

    echo -n "Sending MP to NAS"

    /opt/sybhttpd/localhost.drives/HARD_DISK/.bin/busybox ether-wake -b put_mac_addres_here

    echo "Magic Packet Send..."

}

start_html()

{

    echo "Content-Type: text/html"

    echo ""

    cat <<EOF

<html>

<head>

<title>

NAS WOL started

</title>

</head>

<body>

EOF

}

end_html() 

{ 

    cat <<EOF

</body>

</html>

EOF

}

start_html

start

end_html

exit 0

--- code end
3.
add new web service in popcorn:

url: http:\\localhost.drives:8883\HARD_DISK\NAS-start.cgi

Now you can wake up nas server using built menu of popcorn

Note:
I'm not a sh programer - I just follow some tutorials to get this job done ( just took me about 10 minutes to write it and i'm happy cos its working Wink

, so it is not a smartes code in a world Wink

. Feal free to modify.
Just did it for my own purpose, but I just thought i could share so someone else can enjoy it. Taking NO responobily for it - use it in at your own risk Wink

ps Sorry for my english ...

Enjoy

What Nas are you using for everyones information?

I have a DNS323 and it wakes up everytime I click on the share in PCH.

Hasn't failed once in 5 months I have had it.

Great to hear that - I didn't know that clicking on a share wakes up NAS ...
I'm using a winXP computer ( as NAS server with myiHome for browsing content )with few batch and scheduled task on it so it automaticly unpack *.rar, reads freame rates form movies and downloads and converts subtitles to popcorn format.
Popcorn didn't wake my computer ( NAS server ) automaticly for me ...

Damn you are quick in replaying ... I havent finished fixing typos and there is a replay already - WoW Wink

@mrfac,

Could you please re-edit your first post and put the actual code inside of forum CODE tags (the # button)
Without it some critical code could be missing because of forum posting.

Most NAS will wake. Your pc should wake up to unless its in standby.

vicx · 03-12-2009, 04:47 PM

Maybe I would add shares properly if the popcorn didn't always forget them. I will use this because I am lazy - and also the auto mount script elsewhere posted in these forums.

Hansaplast · 04-05-2009, 05:06 AM

Seems most PC's do wake on LAN traffic ... any traffic ...
You will need to set it (nVidia chipset) to "Wake-On-LAN" (instead of 'Wake-on-Pattern") to prevent your Windows box to stay on all the time.
(even if I force my XP box to go to standby, wake-on-pattern will wake it up with a minute or 2 - unlike Wake-on-lan where it actually wait for a WOL packet).

I'm linux noob, and I created file with NotePad++:

Code:

#!/bin/sh

MARKER="#M_A_R_K_E_R_do_not_remove_me"

start()

{

echo -n "Sending MP to NAS"

/opt/sybhttpd/localhost.drives/HARD_DISK/.bin/busybox ether-wake -b put_mac_addres_here

echo "Magic Packet Send..."

}

start_html()

{

echo "Content-Type: text/html"

echo ""

cat <

EOF

}

end_html()

{

cat <

EOF

}

start_html

start

end_html

exit 0

Save, and trough telnet ./NAS-start.cgi

but don't work, what I'm doing wrong?

EDIT Sintax error in line 18, unexpected newline.

I think you need to put the MAC address of the computer you want to wake up where it says "put_mac_address_here."

No, I've put mac adress of pc. If I do in shell ether-wake -b 00:01:....... works, but srcript don't

You created the file using NotePad++, which is good, but did you tell it to set the file type as Unix/Linux
file endings? Otherwise you probably have Windows CR/LF characters in the file causing the problem.

Or fix it by using Telnet to access the box, cd into the folder where the file is, and run the command
/share/bin/dos2unix ./NAS-start.cgi

This works like a charm and something I wanted for ages. I just couldn't figure it out, but you did, so 3 cheers to you!

cerk2006 · 07-20-2009, 01:21 PM

hi,

Great staff. How can the script be invoked through the remote? Any ideas?

Uros

**dc11ab** · 07-20-2009, 04:33 PM

You can probably make a TVID in a custom index html file to assign the script to a certain rc button, but I guess the NAS-cgi solution in the web service described above is accessed quite fast already.
