ProppFrexx ONAIR User-Forum

Hi,

I don't know if it's a "bug", but I ask my question here.

Tonight, I tried to make that "ProppFrexx RemoteMediaLibrary" can start automatically with Windows, whatever a user is logged in or not.
Indeed, my local user has to type a password to log in and enter into Windows 7 desktop. In case of machine reboot, because of the mandatory password, RemoteMediaLibrary doesn't start right away. I have to connect at the machine, type the password and, once entered into Windows Desktop, RemoteMediaLibrary automatically starts (I checked this setting within your program).
Quite anoying in case of unattended reboot, waiting for a human action to start RemoteMediaLibrary....

So, I tried to do RemoteMediaLibrary starting as a windows service, by the system user. Like that, RemoteMediaLibrary will start at the end of the boot process.
I managed to start the program as a service (using this tutorial, for information (in frenc) http://blogmotion.fr/systeme/convertir- ... windows-72), but not with the system user. I have to start the service with the local user credentials to make it work. And, finally, it doesn't work very well because, using the local user credentials for the service, if I don't type the password at the end of the machine boot, the service doesn't start...

Trying to find how to do into the internet, I see that it should work with the system user like with the local user. But "ProppFrexx RemoteMediaLibrary", no

To be more precise : the process starts (I see it into the task manager). But, it's not completely started as I don't see any text into its log-file. And testing it to be sure, I get an error trying to connect. But process is started : howerver, it's not functional.

Do you see what happen ? is it something you should design for making it work ?
I think it could be a good idea because, as we talk about "server", we talk about "services"....

It's just a question, not a request for development.

Why did you post it under bugs, when its a question...as such I move it here.

What about "ProppFrexx OnAir" when experience and 'unattended reboot'?
Guess you'll have the same issue here.

The only reliable solution to this is to 'Log On Automatically at Startup', e.g. as explained here:

Running an application as a service might still work with a regular user account, but not with ANY internal account, since some are not granted network access - so they have certain limit, which you already discovered with the MLS - as such the MLS can not run as any internal user!
See here for details:

and here:

As you might see, you can specify the password directly when installing it as a service - as such, there is no need type that in manually.
