How to Auto-start Emby Server and ServerWMC?

[jhevener 26]

I've been really lazy about asking this but it's getting to be an issue. What is the preferred way of getting ServerWMC and Emby Server to start automatically upon reboot? I know both can be run as a service and supposedly both can be run at startup. I use a non-admin account on the server as I also use it for one of my MBC clients. No matter which way I try I can't get them to autostart.

 

Maybe I can get some feedback on what works for anybody on the Emby team or in the Emby community?

 

Running latest beta of server and latest ServerWMC on Windows 7 64 Pro, i5 with 8 GB RAM.

 

TIA!

Hi

 

You can run the service from a general user account but it will not be able to automatically install updates.

 

To run the service from a general user account ensure that the account has write access to all the media folders, then from the services management console select the Media Browser service, right mouse click, select properties, select the logon tab, check the radio button to log on as: "This Account", enter the account userid and password.click OK to save. Also make sure on the General Tab that Stratup type: is "Automatic".
