Media Center as bg service?
« on: May 26, 2010, 01:25:55 am »
Hi

I love the new feature with DNLA to my Sony Bravia TV (Sony KDL-40EX500)

However i'm not happy that my computer has to stay open for everyone, so it is possible to run it as a background service autostart when boot?

I requested this for the TV recording engine, but it seems unlikely that it will happen: http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=57620.0

You can start Media Server on Windows startup.  It's set in Tools/Options/Startup.

I know it's not a Windows service, but it should do what you want.

We require Media Server to support servers, television recording, DLNA, and other background tasks.  It is not a service.

I believe there are third-party tools that allow running any application as a service.  You could also create a Media Server user account or run it under your user account but lock the account.

Hi InoculateIT (what a bad name!),

I can't play dlna video on my kdl Sony TV and not the only one.
Didn't you never had problems to do that?
I've got the 32v5500 model...
