Run at Startup Delay

[TolkienBard 54]

It would be helpful if there was an option to assign a period of time for Emby Server to delay before launching at startup. It's not a huge deal, but without the option, I have run into Emby Server getting itself up and running faster than my storage pool does sometimes, and that has caused odd complications on more than one occurrence.

I found this in a post in the past.  I am not taking credit for this, but wanted to pass it on.  It has worked well for me since I have had the same problem as you.

 

You will need to modify it to fit your particular set-up, but it should be fairly straight forward.  Copy this into a start-up .bat file.  Disable the "Run at Start-up" option in Emby.

 

I am assuming you are running on a Windows machine.  You did not specify, so sorry if this is not the case.

This is something that needs to be provided by the OS or environment or, as above, by using some sort of batch file or script.

 

All our startup functionality does is put the executable into the system's list of applications to start at login.  Exactly how this works is up to each OS.

I used a program called Startup Delayer from r2 studios - the free version. worked great for me.
