Tools/Options/Startup/Run on windows startup:
-Nothing
-Media Center
-Media Server
-Media Center and Media Server

When this option is set to "Media Center and Media Server", if I double-click the MC desktop shortcut, everything starts up fine. But if I set the option to "Nothing", only MC starts up (no Server etc). Normal/intended behavior. Fine.


I want to set the above option to "Nothing" and then use a command argument or batch file that will run MC + Server (load library and start all needed services) - simulate the "Media Center and Media Server" option. Any ideas how I can accomplish this?

Take a look here:

mc23.exe /start
mc23.exe /mediaserver

Would start MC maximised and in focus with the default library loaded.

Such as loading a specific a specific library;
mc23.exe /library <library name>

Its a pity you can't put more than one command on each command line, just a command and its parameters, otherwise you could do this;

mc23.exe /start /library <library name> /mediaserver

But alas, that doesn't work. So a shortcut that calls a batch file it is for you.

mc23.exe /start
mc23.exe /mediaserver

Test on laptop seems to work. Will try it on Server PC tomorrow.

Thanks
