NAS-WOL-handling by runeaudio

[al.einstein]

Hi there,

i´m using an selfmade NAS/Homeserver running Openmediavault 1.13 as storage for my music-collection and mounting the CIFS/SMB-Share in runeaudio workes nicely. The problem is: the NAS isn´t running all the time and must be WOLed by the client (which works perfectly with an Openelec-RPi2 and an i3-based Mediaportal-HTPC).

My first Question is: how can i make Runeaudio send a WOL-Packet prior to playback?
Weird thing happens when i choose a file from the playlist to be played while the NAS is still asleep.......playback starts (clock ticks up) but there´s no output, understandably.

My second Question is a little bit more complicated:

Same NAS is able to set itself to sleep-mode on various preconditions (i.e. checking for specific IP-adresses or monitoring the amount of data traffic). In my case the NAS checks if there are SMB/CIFS-Connections on Port 445. Server-Logs tell me that runeaudio doesn´t seem to close this connection after playback has stopped, so the NAS stays awake. Again: Openelec and Mediaportal work perfectly on that topic.

Is there a way to close the connection automatically - lets say - 5 mins after playback has stopped?

Cheers

Hi Orion,

okay, the NAS could be unmounted at a specific time with "cron"......but can it be unmounted just after playback has been stopped?

To clarify things: choosing a song/album/playlist etc. for playback wakes the NAS via WOL and starts playing the music normally. When Playback has ended the NAS should automatically be unmounted and the connection via SMB/CIFS be dropped.

Fundamental Question: would it be easier on that topic to use NFS or DLNA?

Cheers

EDIT: I dicovered another very unpleasing behavior of my RPi running Runeaudio: if another client wakes my NAS runeaudio connects automatically an therefore keeps it awake even if there is no playback from RPi at all.........
