Hi,

I just upgraded from 10.0 to 11.0. With 10.0, I had configured the Media Server to automatically start when the computer is started. However with 11.0, I am unable to find that option. Could you please tell me where I could set it up so that Media Server is automatically started as soon as Windows starts?

thanks,
Osho

The new Library Server is configured under plug-ins in the tree on the left.

I did look into Library Server configuration but I did not find any option for "Auto-start Media Server on Windows Start".

I see the following options.

============================

Auto Port Selection
Manual Port selection
     Port Number 80

Respond to Auto-Detection Requests

Enable Authentication

    Username:
    Password:

Transcoding options must be set on the client

======================================

thanks,
Osho

Osho,

There isn't an option to start Media Server on Windows startup.

What I havedone is  have my PC auto login on startup and have put Media Server (C:\WINDOWS\system32\MC11.exe /MediaServer") in the startup group.

There are other threads on running media server as a service, but since my pc auto logs in for other apps, this was the cleanest option for me.

Osho,

This seems to be a lost functionality moving from 10.0 to 11.0 then. Does 11.1 improve this in anyway?

Can you tell me how to do this in a bit more detail? Thanks.

Create a Short Cut

%windir%\system32\MC11.exe /MediaServer"

Drag And Drop It Into Your "StartUp" Folder

Not sure, I never used MC10

King has covered the shortcut, for auto login read the following:

try searching on "NT service" or "Media server service" in this forum, should bring up a few threads.  Or try this one http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=28390.0
