Need to stop and restart server

[socketman 1]

A new issue has presented itself since the last update. When I try to start Emby from my 360 it says server not available. I have to remote into my server computer and stop the service and then restart it then I am able to proceed as normal. This is ok for me but obviously the rest of the family cant do this so its kind of inconvenient. Can I create a scheduled task of some sort to perform a restart of the service or something similar.

Hi, what last update? What version of Emby Server are you running?

[socketman 1]

I am on 3.0.5985.0 and I installed it about 2 days ago. This started on the version I had prior to the one I had  now which was about 5 days before . I see there is another version available now. I don't usually update on a regular basis as long as everything is running smoothly . My usage is pretty basic, turn on xbox which starts the server and I watch my shows ,nothing fancy. I see there is another update which I will install but it takes a few days for the issue to repeat itself so I will see what happens.

Thanks for reporting.

So I believe I have found the problem. When I went to update to the latest version it  donned on me that I was shutting down "media browser server" and I thought hey this is emby so I scrolled up and found the Emby server which was set to manual start. I change it to automatic start and rebooted and now so far so good. When I load the Xbox 360 it says Media Browser , should it not say Emby now? Do I have some kind of half botched up installation going on here?

No you probably just have an older installation. If you were to install fresh now everything would be named Emby Server.
