Title: Delay Media Server on Windows startup?
Post by: mdav on January 26, 2015, 08:33:24 am

I have set Media Server to run on Windows startup, but most of the time that doesn't work. I think it's because I have a wireless network and Media Server tries to connect before the network connection is established. It works when I press retry. Is there some way to delay the startup of Media Server?

You could make a batch file to start Media Server with a delay.

timeout /t 10 /nobreak
"C:\Program Files (x86)\J River\Media Center 20\Media Center 20.exe" /Boot

And put the batch file here in the Registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

Not sure how to do it in the registry. Should I import the xx.bat file into registry? I have tried, but the the registry says it's not a valid file. Or should I change the Media Center 20 string that's already there?

Put the batch file location in the registry. Or you can just drag it into the startup folder in the start menu.
