Robin, is this going to install SlimTray as well or just Slimserver as a
service? I frequently use the start/stop slimserver from the tray.
Would the new procedure be to use a cmd prompt and type "net start
slimserver" (as you wrote) or "net stop slimserver"?
This just installs Slimserver. I can't test it at the moment, but I
suspect you just need to run "perl -w platforms/win32/SlimTray.pl" to
get the SlimTray app running.
OK, I've looked into this. It's not as easy as that.
The easiest way to get SlimTray running is to download one of the
nightlies and install it. Then, stop the slimsvc, remove it, and follow
the instructions to install from svn.
So, from the command-line, that's;
net stop slimsvc
sc delete slimsvc
One thing I did note is that SlimTray looks for a service called
"slimsvc" not "slimserver" so you would need to either:
a. create the service with the name slimsvc instead of slimserver
b. modify SlimTray.pl to use the service named "slimserver".
I think the optimal solution would be to use slimsvc as the service name
and for SlimTray.pl to be modified to take the name of the service as a
command-line option, using slimsvc as the default.
Again, it's not as simple as that. I've change the instructions to use
"slimsvc" instead of "slimserver" as the service name to allow the
service to be controlled by SlimTray.
