Whew! I had to read that twice to understand what you are doing. It sounds like your intent is to have a player running on the server, sort of as a service and that you are not really wanting the web interface control features so much on the server. I have experimented with some different scenarios here. Before I created Squeezelite-X, I just configured squeezelite-win.exe (the underlying player that Squeezelite-X uses) to run as a service on the server. I got that to work, but it was a little complicated PITA and required some third-party helper software that helps you configure just about any app to run as a service. Anyway I discarded that approach. Instead I actually have some other software that I need to run automatically on my server in a user account, in order to be able to access their tray icons. I resorted to autologon. When my WHS2011 boots up, it uses autologon to automatically logon the administrator account. Then the app (Plex, I think, and maybe LMS) run on user logon in the user account. Now I know that sounds scary to some folks, but the session is still locked and you can't get into it without a password anyway. In this way, when I remote desktop into the server I have access to these apps and their tray icons. I never log out (That would kill the apps), I simply disconnect. The same would work for Squeezelite-X, and that is probably what I would do. I also have my WHS2011 server configured to required two-factor authentication (I use Duo). So even though I never logout of the administrator account, when I RDP to the server, it sends a code to my cell phone (2nd factor) and I have to OK the connection on the cell or it won't let me in. All works fine and I think this is a more convenient approach.
