Wake up Mac mini with JRemote...
« on: February 19, 2015, 04:42:15 pm »

I m using my Mac Mini as a music server only. No screen
But JRemote cannot wake il up from sleep mode.
I blocked the ip adress and chose the 'wake on lan' option.

What did i missed ?

I'll second that question. I have been trying to get this to work since the first version of MC for mac, and have no idea what I am missing. Any help would be awesome!

An Internet search would also be worthwhile.

Took me a while to find this so I thought I'd share.

https://gigaom.com/2010/03/02/how-to-expand-wake-on-demand-support-under-os-x-10-6/

The only problem is when the Mac wakes, it doesn't turn on the display or even my USB sound. I'm guessing if I was using the built in audio out, that wouldn't work either. So this solution works well for remote streaming, but not for local listening.

It'd be great if MC added Bonjour support and found a way to "fully" wake the computer.

Wake on LAN is a standard.  It uses the LAN to wake the computer.  What the computer does when it wakes is different. 

If your Mac doesn't turn on USB, then maybe there is a setting you could find (in the BIOS?) that will do that, but that is not a WOL issue.

Bonjour is about device discovery.  I don't know that WOL is part of it.
