Is there any way to close Media Server without using the tray icon?

[JimH]

No.

[mesue]

Okay. So are there any plans to fix the problem that Windows will not shut down properly until Media Server is closed manually?

[JimH]

I'm sorry, but I don't see this problem when using Media Server.  Did you report it earlier?

[mesue]

No, but I have seen it mentioned elsewhere in the forum. I think it's only when TiVo Server is also running.

[mesue]

Jim, I'm referring to:

Make sure that TiVo Server is not running - there is a know problem with TiVo Server not allowing Windows to shutdown.

[John Gateley]

At the moment, I don't know what to do about this. It is in the TiVo code, not in ours...

Fair enough... but if there was a command line way to close Media Server at least then I could write a script to shut down or restart my PC instead of having to click on the Media Server icon to close Media Server before doing the shut down routine. Currently I am using Windows' taskkill command in a shut down script, but when I use taskkill to close Media Center.exe, it thinks it's been shut down abnormally and then I get the abnormal shut down dialog the next time I start it.
