Won't run as service after updating to 3.3.0.0

[swehawk 7]

Downloaded the zip-file and replaced the system folder after having renamed the old one to be able to roll back.
 

Updated the registry to reflect the name change of the executable.

Now, the EmbyServer process actually starts when I try to start the Emby service and the web GUI is accessible for 30 seconds, then it's terminated with a timeout error.

I'm able to start EmbyServer by doubleclicking on the exe in win explorer, upon which It first updated some C++ runtime library.

Rolled back to the old version, back in business

Any ideas????

Make sure you're using this method to run as a service:

 

https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/50992-how-to-run-emby-server-as-a-windows-service/?view=getnewpost

 

If that's not what you've done then delete your existing Windows service and follow that guide.

Yep! That did it! Thank's Luke, and sorry for not having noted that there now is a guide on the wiki for running as a service. Been using srvany for a long time, but NSSM is obviously a better solution!

Thanks for the feedback.

MediaBrowser.ServerApplication.exe was deprecated and not part of the package anymore?

hi @@Dibbes, everything you need is in the second post above. please let us know if you have any issues. thanks !

I was just surprised that all of a sudden without warning, the service didn't start anymore with a file not found error in the event log... The above works, no complaints about that, but a heads up in the change log (and yes, I do read these every time before updating) would have been nice...

Thanks for the feedback. If you're on x64 the change is only in beta at this point.
