Emby Windows Service stops working for 3.4.0.0

[eugelai 0]

I used to run Emby as a Windows service, but now since the update to 3.4, the path is broken.

 

The path to executable in the windows service is this 

"C:\Users\Eugene\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\system\MediaBrowser.ServerApplication.exe" -service

 

This file no longer exists.

 

What has changed and how can we re-enable Emby to run as a Windows Service in 3.4 ?

Not sure what changed, I just removed and readded it as a service with NSSM and it started working again.

Thanks, I'll do the same.

 

Isn't this the same directory?

 

• Application path: path to EmbyServer.exe
• Startup directory: folder containing the above executable

Thanks, I'll do the same.

 

Isn't this the same directory?

 

• Application path: path to EmbyServer.exe
• Startup directory: folder containing the above executable

 

Application path: C:\WhateverDirectory\EmbyServer.exe

Starup directory: C:\WhateverDirectory

Application path would be the full .exe path and not the containing folder path.

OK, I must be an idiot or I'm missing some or part of the instructions.

 

When I create the Windows Service using the method above, I end up getting a Emby service created that runs C:\Nssm\nssm.exe

That's normal. NSSM is a little utility that allows any program to run as a windows service, so going forward those are our recommended instructions.
