Subsonic Forum

Hello, i've set up a Subsonic Server on my machine. The problem is that my machine is set to sleep in 3 min and i can't find an option in Subsonic to prevent sleeping when i'm streaming music or video. do you know how to solve this problem? Is there a way to reset the sleep timer when streaming? i can't figure it out and having to WoL it every 3 mins is a bit... frustrating

P.S.: I know about power options, but i NEED to set my machine to sleep in some mins if not used.

Thanks in advance

Subsonic requires constant drive access to remain available. A cloud service would be more appropriate to your needs.

accessing one time a day (maybe less) 13,4GB of files?
i'd prefer setting Subsonic up correctly...

anyway...i know that it has to access the disk... i'm asking if there is a way to prevent the machine's idle state with subsonic or some kind of application..

Any help? :/

Look into solid state drives?

The issue here I believe is use case. Subsonic is a music server. By design servers are usually on all the time. If you need your machine to sleep then running a server on it is probably not the best idea.

Why does your machine need to sleep? Have you looked at alternative options? Another PC? A Raspberry PI and a USB Harddrive?

I need to put it into sleep mode because it is too much power-consuming... Using subsonic a couple times a week makes it unconvenient...
Anyway, i'm writing a small program in C# to prevent standby when a certain port is used (4040 in this case).
So when subsonic is streaming content, standby timer is stopped.

If someone is interested i'm gonna post it somewhere when done..

program is ready, i'll test it a bit next days.
if someone is interested, pm me
