I found a small shareware program called "apptoservice" that works well and is fairly easy to setup. It starts mm as a service at boot and works well with ss. You can find it at http://www.basta.com. a couple of tips:
- when setting up mm as service, initially set it to 'interact with desktop.' this way you can make sure the api service is started and do other troubleshooting (even if you have set the api service in regular mode, it goes away when run as service and needs to be turned on again). Once everything is working well, turn off the interact with desktop - otherwise the mm application always comes up on the desktop, and if closed the service stops. - when upgrading ss from one version to another, the musicmagic plugin may need to be reset within ss. check it in server settings > plugins. make sure the setting takes. then what works for me is: stop the ss service. stop the mm service. start the mm service. start the ss service. now double check server settings to see if 'use mm' is checked. if so, you should be set. charles On 5/19/05, kdf <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > 6.1 nightlies should allow you to enable (server settings->pluigns) musicmagic > after slimserver has started up and it will take exiting use settings so you > dont have to suffer through a new rescan. > > otherwise, you have to write a .BAT file to delay the startup of slim.exe as a > manual run (not a service). > > -kdf > _______________________________________________ > Discuss mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss > _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
