Asset prevents computer from Sleep

[AndrewFG]

I am running Asset v2.1 R as a service. And I notice that when the server is running it prevents the computer from entering sleep mode.

Ok some people may want their server to be always on. But I would prefer it to go into sleep when it is not streaming files. My standard approach is that I send a WOL ping packet to wake up the PC before I try to connect with a Control Point.

Is there any chance to add an "Allow Computer to Sleep" option (check box) in the next release?

A upnp server would be constantly sending ssdp data across the network, is it this which is stopping the sleep?

Unlikely.
More likely that it is holding either a network connection or a socket open. So I would suggest to check that you are closing all sockets after you have done with them...

Interesting.

I'm running Asset v.3 on my Server PC as local account and the PC goes to sleep even when I'm playing tracks on a client.

I'll try running Asset as a service and report back my findings.

When running Asset v3 as a service, my server still goes to sleep when streaming audio to the client.
