Server sleeps while watching client
My Sage server is set to hibernate after 15 minutes of inactivity. SageWake wakes it back up for recordings. This works great.
I setup the client on another machine and the server will hibernate while I'm watching a program. How can I prevent the server from doing this? Thanks

Same behavior with my setup. I found that if I have an explorer window open to a shared folder on the server, it would keep the server awake.
It is pretty hack, but it works. Hopefully, someone has a better idea. Oh, and I use WakeIt to bring the server from standby. It sends a "magic packet" for Wake-On-Lan.

Another alternative is to have all your video directories as UNC paths instead of local paths. See the SageTV FAQ on how to make this change. This is a more elegant way of doing the same thing...basically when you are watching live TV the system sees an open network file. The same is true for watching a previously recorded file.

I know that unc paths will keep the system from sleeping because my client cannot sleep when I have its video directory exported. This should also work the other way.

I'll try the UNCs. But, for some reason it isn't doing it anymore. If I'm in the menu system without video running, it will sleep, but it no longer does if I'm watching a show. I messed around with some settings on my nic to get wake-on-lan to work, so maybe something there helped out.
Thanks for help!
