Firewall and computer sleep on OS X
1- Find a way for Serviio to go through the firewall once it's been allowed
The firewall on my Mac is always on, so apps that need to go through it ask for the permission. Once it's allowed, it's allowed for all subsequent launch of these apps. But not with Serviio: it asks permission at every launch. Maybe it's a Java thing...
2- Have an option to prevent computer sleep
When I pause a video for a few minutes, the Mac will fall asleep (drive stops and network connection closes) making it impossible to continue playback. To alleviate the problem, I use a little app called Caffeine that prevents sleep. If such a function could be introduced as an option in Serviio, that would be great.
That being said, I use Serviio everyday and it's very reliable.
