    Hi All

    How do you power down your Pi; pull the plug, shutdown via the http GUI or another way ?

    What are the pros and cons of each ?

    Thanks

    I have a lead with a on off switch but never had any problems just turning off from the mains or just unplugging from the Pi

    Yeah, I just switch the psu off at the wall too. So far no issue, was just wondering if I was going to break the instal eventually…

    Hi guys,
    We recommend using the shutdown button before removing the power supply. While this usually does not have a great effect on the system, the removal of the power supply while the system is running tasks in the background can lead to future errors.

    I have RPi with M2P working as a server/player and an old SB Touch on the network in another room. I am controlling both with iPeng.

    I am thinking about adding another RPi/M2P player only in my workshop, but I only use the workshop about 1 day per week. It seems like a waste of energy to keep the RPi running all the time in the workshop. Is there a way to safely shutdown the workshop RPi without having to turn on the computer and turn it off from the network webpage? I was wondering if a momentary switch on one of the GPIO of the RPi could be used to trigger the safe shutdown command?

    Hi Jac,

    You can make a bookmark of this URL to shut down safely from any browser within your network:

    http://max2play/plugins/max2play_settings/controller/Basic.php?action=shutdown

    Alternatively, if your Pi always has the same IP address you can use

    http://IP_ADDRESS_HERE/plugins/max2play_settings/controller/Basic.php?action=shutdown

    Best regards,
    JCU
