Would it be possible to add an option browser/database to prevent hard drives from sleeping?
Yes we can install tools like NoSleepHD, but we only need the capability when we are DJing. Not all the time.
We could choose which drives we want to keep awake and the setting could be written to the database. That way the setting travels from machine to machine.
Plus it's one less tool that could interfere with latency/performance etc.
Cheers,
Roy

Set windows to do it, control panel>power options>advanced power options.

Doesn't always work with external USB hard drives. That's why there are tools like NoSleepHD and why it has been discussed at length here, the VDJ FB page and on the VDJ YouTube channel...

You can do this with ease.. It is in the control pannel then to the device managers and then open it to show devices. then click on the ubs and click property and then go to power setting and select the check mark and remove it for usb sleep, your done..

Missng the point again. Yes there are a bunch of utilities out there. But I only want my hard drives kept awake while DJing.
Plus external utilities can play havoc with latency.
Having the option to do it from within VDJ would ne perfect.

So should be easyvto add to VDJ when it starts and can be reset when you close...
Point being I don't have hack my regisry.

I have to agree with Roy here.
80%+ of the suggestions that appear here are probably possible with an addon, a pluigin, a skin, another piece of software. But sometimes we want things to be "automatic" with no additional download and nothing to worry about. Switch something on and leave it be in the background.
Have to see whether V8 brings anything like this with it.

The utility I posted about is only used with VDJ. You just set the time for it to spin the drive (I have it @5 minutes) and forget about it. It hasn't caused any problems running while playing videos and music from my external drives. Once the gig is over it's turned off and that's it.

I had a plugin I created that automatically started/stopped with VDJ that did this... ;)

Hey Scott,
Just switching over to external drives, so this will be perfect!
Thank you.
