Prevent Windows from going to sleep while using Serviio
Hello there.
I'm using Serviio v 1.5.2 with Windows 7. Nice tool - thanks a lot!!!
I configured Windows 7 to go to sleep (save energy) after 30 minutes idle time. Windows goes to sleep even if I'm watching a movie on my TV from Serviio. It seems that Windows just looks wether mouse or keyboard are in use but it doesn't recognize that Serviio is in use. I could disable the save energy option. But: Before going to sleep I want to watch a movie. If I am awake when the movie is over I could go to the computer and put it manually in energy saving modus. But this is not what I want. And: If I fall asleep while watching the movie the computer would run all night long and consume a lot of power.
Is it possible to make Windows checking wether there is device in the network using Serviio, e.g. a TCP connection from the TV with IP address 192.168.0.100? Or to configure Serviio some how to tell Windows "hello the computer is in use, do not go to sleep!"?
Thanks in advance.
