Wake On LAN

General Discussion
1

I found that Kodi is able to do WOL for remote servers. Unfortunately when I enabled the feature, there was error message like “Unable to find MAC address of … serverX” (the text was not exactly this). The server was online, there is only 1 switch between Pi and the server (Windows 7 share). What is wrong or is there WOL AddOn or maybe I can enter the MAC address manually in some file?

I don’t know the answer here and I’ve never tried to actually get it going, but when I enable the option Kodi generates ~/.kodi/userdata/wakeonlan.xml with the following contents…
