MB3 Server is not starting always.

[lujo 0]

Hi,

 

I am using Windows 8.1 Pro and didn't installed MB3 service but using it with tray icon. I mean the service is installed but not started.

 

First example when MB3 server is working:

When I go to Apps in Windows 8.1 click right on MB3 Server and select Run as Administrator MB3 server is starting and working without problem.

Restarting it with tray icon or from dashboard is also no problem.

 

 

Example when MB3 server is not working:

When I only click on MB3 Server I can also see tray icon but dashbord is not working: http://localhost:8096/mediabrowser/dashboard/dashboard.html gives message that this page cannot be viewed..

 

 

My default accountname, Lujo, is also Administrator.

It is a standard pop-up window that I get when I try to start MB3 or any other application (UserAccountControl).

 

Onbekend = Unknown

Harde schijf op deze computer = Hard drive on this computer

 

Programmanaam: Application name

Gecontroleerde uitgever: Controlled Publisher

Programmalokatie: Application Location

 

Is this helping?

the logs would help but you posted a zip of about 15 logs. can you just post a single one unzipped that i should look at? thanks.

I have added two logs. One when I am starting Server with one click and other when I start Server with Run as Administrator.

One click - server-63531266645.log

Run as Administrator - server-63531266782.log

A local account marked as admin doesn't necessarily mean you have full control.

 

Try turning off UAC.

That is strange because my normal account is also Administrator.

Service is tied to Local System Account.

 

Is there anything that I can try?

Just to add this: Server as service is working fine.

After turning UAC off server still doesn't work.

The only option what was helping in my case was to go to C:\Users\Lujo\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Media Browser 3 select Media Browser Server.exe (right mouse button) and select Run as Administrator.

 

Is it possible to add that Server Always run as a Administrator? So it is not needed that user select this.

Looks like your normal user doesn't have authority to start our http server.  When you run as admin (or as the service which is tied to the admin account I assume) it doesn't have this problem.
