Hi,

I want to set JRiver as a service to avoid logon the system...

I can use NSSM 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, 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

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?

[InflatableMouse]

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...
