JERRY1 17 Posted September 21, 2014 Author Share Posted September 21, 2014 Well that's the thing i don't want to be running my htpc 24/7. Can't i just load what i need on the external hard drive and use it that way ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36888 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 it doesn't need to be on 24/7. Our roku app supports wake on lan. it can wake up the machine that runs Media Browser Server when you start the app. then when you're done and it idles the machine can go back to sleep.
