Hey guys, struggling to figure out what's going on here. In Tasker, I have two tasks, one which uses Unified Remote to send shut down commands to my living room, and bedroom computer. The other loads WoL and sends packets to turn both back on.

However, the problem is tasker only seems to trigger the first one in each list, it can't seem to do both. It will shut down the first computer i put in the list, and only WoL the first one also. Is there something I am missing? I'm using NFC task launcher to trigger the events.

Thanks

Please export (via long-press) the relevant task description (not XML) and post it here.

I have got the WOL to work by making two seperate Tasker tasks, and launching both.

As for the shutdown, I have tried two seperate tasks per machine, one to change the Unified Remote Server to the correct machine, and then a second to send the shut down command to the current server. This also does not work. Gutted. I just want to be able to roll over at night, swipe the NFC and have all my machines turn off!! :'(

It's hard to debug something you can't see...

Sorry guys, here you go. I'm thinking it may be a limitation of Unified Remote. I have broken it down to 4 seperate Tasker tasks now (change to server URI, shutdown current server URI, change to home pc, shutdown home pc) still to no avail.
Anyway, here's the exports :)

Set Sever To Living Room (7)
A1: Browse URL [ URL:ur://server/LivingRoom ] 

Shut Down LivingRoom (4)
A1: Browse URL [ URL:ur://remote/Relmtech.Power/Shutdown 

Set Sever To Weez (6)
A1: Browse URL [ URL:ur://server/bigweez ] 

Shut Down Weez Pc (4)
A1: Browse URL [ URL:ur://remote/Relmtech.Power/Shutdown ] 

Wake Up Weez Pc (5)
A1: WoL Wake On Lan Wan Settings [ Configuration:Weez's Beast Package:com.benfinnigan.wol Name:WoL Wake On Lan Wan Settings ] 

Wake Up Living Room Computer (3)
A1: WoL Wake On Lan Wan Settings [ Configuration:LivingRoom Package:com.benfinnigan.wol Name:WoL Wake On Lan Wan Settings ] 


You can also embed which server the URI acts upon, with a command like this:

A2: Browse URL [ URL:ur://remote@LivingRoom/Relmtech.Power/Shutdown ] 



this also does not work. 
thanks guys
