Media Server (minimized) shuts down if MC isn't open
« on: April 17, 2023, 04:42:58 am »
I load Media Server when Win 11 boots up, and it works fine with any of the DLNA renders on my iPhone--for awhile. Then it shuts down, and no longer appears in the Task Tray. I have to run MC 30 to get it loaded again, and I have no problems as long as MC is running.

I'm guessing that starting Media Server with Win 11 by itself is the problem, but if this is a bug it would be nice to see it fixed.

Probably not a bug.  Make sure your firewall allows port 1900 (for SSDP) and port 52199.

No firewall issues. Again, it works fine until it doesn’t. The Media Server closes itself.

Not a big deal, since I can just load MC at startup, but it’s puzzling.

Consider antivirus.  Are you using anything other than Windows Defender?  Did you configure Windows Defender?

Nothing but Defender. Do I need to do any configuration beyond opening ports 1900 and 52199?

Maybe.  Please read this:  https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,114101.0.html

No other security software running?

Good info in that link. I added the exclusions to Defender Antivirus, we'll see what happens!
