What different wakeupmethods are there? I've built a few vdr boxes and I've been forced to use different motherboards and they do not all work the same. I've used nvram-wakeup on some and acpi on others when nvram-wakeup has not worked. Now I have Biostar 945GZ 775 SE with which I'm having trouble in starting on timers.
What methods are people using with VDR?
beside nvram-wakeup und acpi-wakeup ( simply "echo 2006-02-09 23:05:00
/proc/acpi/alarm", http://www.vdr-wiki.de/wiki/index.php/ACPI_Wakeup,
sorry you have to use babelfisch, it´s not in the engl. vdr-wiki)
you could use the WOL feature of the system the vdr sends the wakeup time to a system thats always on (linux router?) and this machine sends a WOL packet to your vdr http://www.vdr-portal.de/board/thread.php?postid=694894 (->babelfish)
or
a special home brew hardware device with it's own clock (kind of pic) witch gets it's power from standby of the power supply don't know about a running project but it people talked about something like that on www.vdr-portal.de - usually if made by someone in a small batch it will cost as much as a cheap mainboard
