Updater fails, Emby ends up down

[MSattler 390]

Gents,

 

I really appreciate the auto updates but it needs some extra troubleshooting and error catching.  Twice in the past 4 days I've ended up being down, because the service crashes.  And it leaves Emby totally down.

We're just going to stop trying to do this when running as a service, thanks.

This just happened to me as well. Is the recommended procedure to manually restart the service? I am on a win10 box. It would be nice if there was an automated approach, but I see there are plenty of notification methods.

The update zip will still download but a manual restart will be required. Ive sent a pull request to fix this.
