I think I was that person. Maybe I'll give a script a go sometime this week if I get bored at work. How are you connecting with XBMC to watch movies? DLNA,CIFS,NFS? Could tie off cues from one of those protocols, if no active connections. Also if you have disk spin-down enabled, could feed from that as well, if disks have been spun down fo X hours, shutdown.

Hello,

I use an XBMC mod called "Advanced Wake-On-LAN". Basically in XBMC i have a custom menu called "NAS Movies" and it displays the list of the movies on my NAS. With this mod the WOL packet is automatically sent to my NAS as soon as i open the this menu, sends a ping and waits until the NAS answers to display the menu.

I have tried to find a way to automatically wake the NAS when i try to access a movie stored on it but i dont think it is possible...

Would greatly appreciate the script ! Just tell me how much you'd charge for it and i can pay through paypal
