Orf Quarenghi Posted April 30, 2020 Report Share Posted April 30, 2020 I am wondering: is it possible to handle the powering up/down of a WatchOut player machine in an external software, achieving the same results as in Production's menu Stage/Manage Display Computer/Power Up/Down? I see no reference in the Control Protocol, I guess the answer is "no". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Quim Posted April 30, 2020 Member Report Share Posted April 30, 2020 Hi Orf, For powerdown the Display computers you have the powerDown command. Regarding powerup the only option you have, as far I know, is to use a wakeonlan command. Best regards, Quim 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orf Quarenghi Posted April 30, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2020 Thanks Quim. I cannot find that command in the WatchOut 6.6 command list. Is it a somewhat hidden command? Do you know where I can find documentation on that command and on other misterious commands like that? Thanks ®f 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dataton Partner RBeddig Posted May 1, 2020 Dataton Partner Report Share Posted May 1, 2020 Hi Orf, It is not in the documentation. You'll need to send this to each server in your cluster individually and it only works as long as WATCHPOINT is still active on that server. authenticate 1 powerDown as Quim stated above. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator jfk Posted May 3, 2020 Moderator Report Share Posted May 3, 2020 Pretty sure powerDown requires authentication at level 2, as it is not a cluster command, it is an administrative command which (as you correctly point out) only affects a single watchpoint station (includes all WATCHPAX of course). There is also a command to grab the MAC address needed for Wake On LAN. reference: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orf Quarenghi Posted May 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2020 Hi. I managed both the power-up via WOL using the MACaddress and the shut-down using the powerDown command - @jfk I issued authenticate 1 and it worked I am curious: is there more in-deep documentation of WatchOut commands I can read?

Dataton Partner Claudio Posted May 6, 2020 Dataton Partner Report Share Posted May 6, 2020 Ciao Orf, just to repeat that we are in touch personally. And an Academy session or training course will be very useful to learn all these interesting things for the way you are implementing Watchout on your own software . Chiama quando vuoi.
