Shutdown Command for Windows not working about homebridge-wol HOT 6 CLOSED

Friendly bump if anyone can help me, the plugin works brilliantly otherwise :)

Could it be a problem with escaped strings? Try to escape the backslash by writing \\media-pc instead.

Thanks, i can confirm in the config.json there are two backslashes \

Here's the error again (note at the bottom it shows the CMD command with \

Hmmm....i just noticed it here aswell, when i use dual \ it only shows one?

Could you try four? It's entirely possible that they are interpreted once when I read the config file and once when they are run as a command, meaning it could be interpreted as escaping the letter 'm'.

Thank you very much!!! It was the four I required and along the way I learnt a bit more about json files which will surely help me in the future
