Switch Off (Beta) - Turns off PC

switchoff-preview-01.png

This plug-in came out of the discussion over HERE.

The power of DivX Connected never seems to stop amazing me!

This plug-in will communicate with the Switch Off freeware installed on your server(s). With this plug-in, you can SHUTDOWN, RESTART, STANDBY, or HIBERNATE your PC from the DivX Connected client.

First, download and install Switch Off:
www.download.com

Under Switch Off's options, you'll want to 'enable remote control'. This plug-in doesn't support authentication right now and defaults to port 8000, so it's easiest to leave these options alone if you're able to.

Also in the options, you'll want to set Switch Off to start with Windows or run as a service, so it's always available to Connected.

Then, make sure you're running the Connected beta server 1.3:

Now, you're ready for the Switch Off plug-in:
http://labs.divx.com/files/switchoff-beta.zpi

THIS IS STILL IN BETA!!!
Need to improve the IP/port entry and store these values in a database, so you wouldn't need to re-enter them, although LOCALHOST should take care of this for now. Another nice feature to add would be feedback for errors (e.g. Server Not Detected). Everyone is welcome to poke around in the code and post improvements.

Good luck and any feedback is welcome.

Switch Off is a great idea, but WOL will be even better at least for me..

Default is now localhost

Ncochon had the great idea of setting the default IP to localhost. Now there's no need to hit MENU unless you need to change the port or shut off a different PC on your network. I'll leave it in beta since there's still more work to be done.
