WSE2012 R2, LO 1.5.5.x, Intel l217V nic, plex media server software set to run on startup (not via LO, just run at win startup)
Have LO set to suspend after like 20 mins of inactivity. currently i have a single client (win 8.1) with the connector software and lights out addin. On my network i also have a google TV (Vizio Co-star). In addition i have my cell phone (Nexus 5) which can be on wifi or wan using cell network.
Is there a way i can have LO keep the server on when streaming media to my gtv and/or phone via plex? (**IMPORTANT - I am just assuming the server will suspend while streaming content to say my gtv, i havent confirmed this yet**)
I considered using cpu/network load but it appears as if streaming isnt causing my server to break a sweat. CPU load is about 1-2% and network load doesnt seem to spike at all when i tested streaming to my phone over wifi.
My gtv and phone are typically on 24/7 so i cant have the server stay on when they are on like i do with my win 8.1 client. It also seems that plex and the service run 24/7 on the server so it doesnt look like any additional program or process runs when streaming.
Forgive my ignorance on the subject, as ive had lights out for only a few hours and the server for about a week. Google was no help either. Any assistance would be great, thanks.
