OSMC keeps connections open to NAS

[dblackeby]

Upgraded my old Crystalbuntu installation to OSMC on my Apple TV. My setup has the databases running on a MariaDB instance on my Synology NAS (same as previously).

Since the upgrade my NAS has failed to hibernate, it seems that OSMC keeps connections open even when the device is not being used (under Crystalbuntu, it used to sleep happily).

Has anyone else with a similar configuration noticed this? I assumed / hoped that when the screensaver kicked in (dim in the case of AppleTV), it would also terminate connections to the database and network shares.

Could it be a setting in KODI? Too frequent update of video db?

I have the same observation, but I’m at present not annoyed enough by the NAS whirring, when Kodi is idle.

OSMC waking my HTPC

I think you are right - my expectations are slightly off as it is running the MySQL server, i’ve had a poke around the Confluence skin and even that is regularly updating the “recently played/added” widgets from MySQL. Although I completely disabled the plugin “Skin Widgets” last night and it looks as though there were no wakeup requests throughout the night at all. I’m guessing as a result of that my “recently played/added” will not be updating and will become very outdated, which is a bit ann…

How did you disable the widget, it complains that its needed for the OSMC addon which can’t be disabled

Change to a different skin that doesn’t use it?

I’m confused now, as I’m also running the confluence skin, hence was wondering how you managed to disable it.
