What you are observing is not a succesful behaviour of sleep proxy but just of wake on demand
Wakeonlan nighthawk remote software#
Wake on demand works when implemented with magic packets so if you have a software that sends them the Mac will wake upīonjour sleep proxy and wake on demand instead don't work and once the device has switched off the network card it never comes back Both Macs are connected to the Time Capsule via wired ethernet but the ATV is connected via WiFi, as is a third iMac. I also have a 2012 iMac running OSX 10.9.5 on the network with its own iTunes Library. It may have something to do with having another of my Mac's awake & its iTunes app open when I try to wake the other one & but the 'no wake' behavior is so erratic that may just be coincidental.įor reference, I am using a 2008 vintage white MacBook running OSX 10.6.8 as my primary iTunes server & a 2 TB Time Capsule as my router. It doesn't seem to have anything to do with how long the ATV or the Mac has been asleep, or if the last app selected on the ATV was the Computer one or something else. I have no idea why I get such different results at different times.

This can happen even if the Mac was the last thing selected before the ATV went to sleep, & after waking it up with the Computer app still selected, the large area at the top of the screen where a few of the Library's items normally show up are still empty & all I see there is the Apple TV logo thing. Stranger still, sometimes when I am certain the Mac is sleeping, everything works exactly as it should - the Mac wakes up immediately after selecting the Computers app & there is essentially no delay at all, no spinner, no message, & the Library content is immediately available. I am sorry to say that home sharing just does not work because contrary to what apple says the apple tv (and the extreme routers) fail to wake up any sleeping devices with home sharing on the network although they are aware of the existence once those devices loose an IP address is basically dead endįWIW, I have found that when my ATV 3 will not wake up the Mac I use as my primary iTunes library server & I just get the spinner & 'loading' message on the TV, if I hold down the Menu button to return to the home screen, wait a few seconds, & then select Computers again, usually (but unfortunately not always) that wakes the Mac. The link to computers will go back to working on the apple TV and all will be normal When you need your home library go into this app and wake up the sleeping computer. Register your computer MAC address on this app. Uss standard power saving settings and use an application like Moka WOL. This is not eco friendly but means the network card stays on and so does the link to home sharingĢ. In the remote app the library disappears and when you go into the AppleTVand press computer it starts loading it and then fails or even better tells you home sharing is not active on other devicesġ, Set the iMac or other computer power saving to never go to sleep. This is the theory so if you then launch remote app or go onto the AppleTV menu and look for computers you should see the shared libraries. So before going to sleep the register with the AppleTV so that the apple Tv can wake those up if needed. The other devices like iMac or MacBooks instead may disconnect from the network and loose their IP going to sleep. In general everything works fine when all devices are awake however the moment the iMac or AppleTV goes to sleep this start creating problemsįor who does not know the Apple TV 2/3 has a functionality called bonjour sleep proxy, the AppleTV is always visible on the network and retains and IP address even when it is in sleep mode. I have the largest iTunes library on the iMac running the latest Mavericks OSX. Set of iOS devices iPhone 5/5s/6 iPad 3/Air

Unfortunately the problems are there to stay home sharing is actually not functional in full in certain scenarios so I thought I would give a summary of my experienceįirst of all airplay and home sharing have nothing to do with each other so the fact you have issues with airplay or that airplay works does not warrant any behaviour for home sharing I see that there are many users reporting problems with home sharing.
