Neo T5 with Xibo: WakeOnLan / shutdown not working

Hey everyone!

So I work in a school and we have bought a couple of Neo T5's with the purpose of using them as Xibo clients on our Digital Signage TV's.
Xibo installation was fine and we get our picture on the screens perfectly.

Now we're looking for a way to automatically "shutdown" our TV's at the end of the day, en start them again in the morning.
Xibo offers those possibilities by scheduling WakeOnLan and commands to shut down.

But whatever we try, the wakeonlan does not seem to work, and sending the 'reboot -p' command also does nothing.
Do we need to root the devices to allow for these remote commands? Do we need to change some settings somewhere?

I hope somebody can help us further, otherwise we'll have to resort to programmable poweroutlets, but we want to avoid the extra cost.
 
I tested WOL to wake/shutdown windows devices and NAS (Synology).

Windows devices:
WOL works for me only with cable [ did not work with WoWLAN (wireless wake on lan) ] and i need to enter BIOS to modify the settings.

Example (after setup):
To wake the windows device i need to install wake on lan app (for android) and i can wake the device from sleep/shutdown mode.

But I'm trying to use WakeOnLan to wake up my minix neo t5...
I tried sending the WakeOnLan command from my computer and from the Xibo CMS, both from within the same VLAN.
But the Minix does not wake up

Yes, I Know but i never tested that.

Are you using ethernet?

I suppose you are using official MINIX android tv OS.
 
I'm using ethernet indeed. The Minix is fresh out of the box with default unmodified Android Tv OS

I may be wrong, but I don't think Android supports WOL.

The only thing I could find searching for this feature is that if the bootloader code supports WOL then it's up to the manufacturer to implement that feature at hardware level.
