how to startup/shutdown serviio remotely from Android device
Hi,
I installed serviio 1.6 successfully on my RaspberryPi model 2B. Data location is on a nfs mounted share on a NAS. Everything works well, even media access over the internet as well as administration using ServiiDroid on my Android based smartphone.
Unfortunately the NAS does not go into sleep mode any more, since > 2 weeks meanwhile. Serviio is set up to refresh the data every 24 hours. I would expect this refresh to take a few minutes, as long as nothing has changed meanwhile. But as I said: NAS is accessed permanently, so that it can't go to sleep mode any more.
To fix this issue I'm thinking about shutdown serviio remotely as long as I don't need it and start it up in same way as soon as I'd like to access my media. It is not so handy to open a Linux console on an Android smartphone and remotely log in to the RaspberryPi from anywhere, so I'm looking for an alternative solution. Ideally I would simply have an icon on the smartphone which would (maybe password protected) startup or shutdown Serviio on the RaspberryPi. Does anyone know how to realize this, or is an alternative solution for the described issue possible?
note:
Stopping the UPnP/DLNA server via ServiiDroid doesn't solve the issue. The NAS is still accessed and therefore never going into sleep mode.
Thanks for your help and Best Regards from Germany
