Media Server Startup - run as service?
« on: April 11, 2003, 11:04:16 pm »

Is there a way to make the media server run as a service so you don't have to log in for it to start?

If not, how about adding that feature?

Firedaemon -

What Is It?
FireDaemon is a utility that allows you to install and run virtually any native Win32 application or script (eg. BAT/CMD, Perl, Java, Python) as a Windows NT/2K/XP service. FireDaemon features easy configuration (via GUI or XML), a low memory/CPU overhead, subprocess prioritisation, custom environments, CPU binding plus monitoring and logging to the event log and on-disk log files.


This has worked well for me in the past, not for media server, but I see no reason why it shouldn't work with that also.

I am using firedeamon already including for the TiVo publisher. I am looking for a built in function.

There is no built in function.

But I was planning on requesting this for the next version.

Switching from application architecture to service will require significant modifications of Media Server code. We can't do that for MC v9.
