Question
How do I Use the 'Wake on LAN' plugin?
Answer
Extract the server IP from the UNC path ("\\server\share") and store the MAC address in MediaPortal.xml Use it in configure.exe or setting screen of your plugin.
private void SaveMAC(string uncPath) { String macAddress; byte[] hwAddress; WakeOnLanManager wakeOnLanManager = new WakeOnLanManager(); IPAddress ipAddress = null; string hostName = Util.Utils.GetServerNameFromUNCPath(uncPath); using (Profile.Settings xmlreader = new MPSettings()) { macAddress = xmlreader.GetValueAsString("macAddress", hostName, null); } if (wakeOnLanManager.Ping(hostName, 100) && !string.IsNullOrEmpty(macAddress)) { Log.Debug("WakeUpServer: The {0} server already started and mac address is learnt!", hostName); return; } // Check if we already have a valid IP address stored, // otherwise try to resolve the IP address if (!IPAddress.TryParse(hostName, out ipAddress)) { // Get IP address of the server try { IPAddress[] ips; ips = Dns.GetHostAddresses(hostName); Log.Debug("WakeUpServer: WOL - GetHostAddresses({0}) returns:", hostName); foreach (IPAddress ip in ips) { Log.Debug(" {0}", ip); ipAddress = ip; // Check for valid IP address if (ipAddress != null) { // Update the MAC address if possible hwAddress = wakeOnLanManager.GetHardwareAddress(ipAddress); if (wakeOnLanManager.IsValidEthernetAddress(hwAddress)) { Log.Debug("WakeUpServer: WOL - Valid auto MAC address: {0:x}:{1:x}:{2:x}:{3:x}:{4:x}:{5:x}" , hwAddress[0], hwAddress[1], hwAddress[2], hwAddress[3], hwAddress[4], hwAddress[5]); // Store MAC address macAddress = BitConverter.ToString(hwAddress).Replace("-", ":"); Log.Debug("WakeUpServer: WOL - Store MAC address: {0}", macAddress); using (MediaPortal.Profile.Settings xmlwriter = new MediaPortal.Profile.MPSettings()) { xmlwriter.SetValue("macAddress", hostName, macAddress); } } else { Log.Debug("WakeUpServer: WOL - Not a valid IPv4 address: {0}", ipAddress); } } } } catch (Exception ex) { Log.Error("WakeUpServer: WOL - Failed GetHostAddress - {0}", ex.Message); } } }
