This is from an earlier post talking about the previous version of Library Server (1.0.21):
Set up Library Server the way you want it. It's under "plug-ins" in the tree.
Start it.
Close MC. The server will still be running and it's called "Media Server" at that point. It's just a small sub-set of MC.
This, however, doesn't seem to be what happens. When I close MC, it shuts down completely, shutting down the library server as well. LS automatically starts up again when I restart MC, but I don't see any option in the LS options to get it to keep running when I shut MC down.
I tried using this command line:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\MC11.exe /MediaServer
This seems to run the server without MC running, but as soon as I start MC I get an error -- it appears that when I start MC, I get two instances of MC running, and this causes the error. I've read some posts about running MC as a service, but isn't there an easier way of doing this? I just want it to work as the quote above suggests -- i.e. I want LS (or MS) to continue running when I shut MC down so I don't have to worry about it accidentally being closed.
Thanks for clarification on this,
Larry
