Hi,
I want to set JRiver as a service to avoid logon the system...
I can use NSSM (http://nssm.cc/) to run it as service, and JRemote can connect to it, but the music doesn't start or get any sound...
Can you help?
Thanks

I don't think its possible, I tried it once myself and there's been other threads from people who tried it.
I think your best option is to configure the system to automatically login (Start/Run/control userpasswords2) and configure Media Center to auto start its server. The user should still have a password, you need to enter it when unticking 'users must enter password'.
Next you can configure the system to lock with a short timeout.

If that is the only possible way... :(
I'm already using Autologon (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963905.aspx), on my headless Audio PC with Windows Server 2012, but the main purpose was to prevent more processes to run...

Whats the difference between running a process and a service?

Whats the difference between running a process and a service?
Services vs Processes (http://compinfopro.com/services-processes/)
The main difference that I want is to have JRiver running without the need to login... ;)
Login will required to start more services/processes...

It was a retorical question. You said you were already using autologin on your headless server. If the system is already logging in, there is no difference between running JRiver as a service or at login.

I will try to describe what I want again:
I want to use JRiver as a service to avoid the login or autologon.
Because I still can't set JRiver to run as service, I use the autologon, but this will create new processes/services that I want to avoid.
Is this clear to you now?
-
It is. The confusion came because earlier you said "already using" and I understood that to mean you were already using autologin before trying to run JRiver as a service.
Just a misunderstanding.
I'm afraid there is currently no other way because as far as I'm aware no one has managed to run the server as a service. I can't find the thread, but if I remember correctly someone mentioned it was not possible because it needed interaction with the desktop. But if you do manage, please share how you managed :).
Another thing you could try if you haven't done so already is to stop unnecessary processes and services to minimize the resources a user session consumes.
-
For what it's worth running services are processes that are just running in the background. If you look in task manager each running service has a process ID. You can also right click on the service to go to that process.

Thanks for your advices... ;)
