Ok, so took some reading and exploring to fix this one but it's actually relatively straight forward to fix. I actually don't use the standby/suspend feature that much because I'm a bit of a hippy and would rather it was just off. However it annoyed me that it didn't work. What was the problem?

In an effort to build the most powerful HTPC system that you can have you have to consider not just the technologies which are useful to yourself, but others in the household. More often than not my explanations on DLNA, UPNP, SMB or AFS go down like the titanic and no matter what measures I put in place it never seems simple enough in reality to demonstrate. So what am I rambling on about? Update 1: I wrote this article some time ago now, but much has changed since then. Firstly OpenElec was released as final and has been updated a few times since then. I'm now on 1.0.2 for instance. The guide was written for RC5, however the instructions should still be applicable. Update 2: If you are struggling to get this working or it just won't work, then don't worry. The latest version of XBMC Eden (currently RC2) has Airplay and AirTunes support built in! http://xbmc.org/download/

Ok, so yep. Photographers worst nightmare next to batteries running out during a special event. Dropping the camera. If i'm honest it didn't drop as a result of slippery fingers but because the tripod I was using wasn't properly secure. Doh!
