Thanks very much, appreciate the thorough response.
I'll give this a try, but my first obstacle is that I do not see lms
running as a service, when I check the task manager "Services" tab (even
in 'more details').
I do have the lms running and I do see it in the task manager listed
under "background processes", along with the tray icon, I see:
Logitech Media Server (32 bit)
Logitech Media Server Tray Icon (32bit)
Do you recommend I setup the first one as a windows service? Will that
mess up any existing workflow (ie: the tray icon and web control turning
it on and off as it does currently)?
Also, if this is not relevant conversation for this forum, I can pm you
directly.
Anyone know if there are 64 bit versions of these apps? I'm running 64
bit and can't imagine that's related to my original issue, but worth
asking.
Thanks very much,
Dan
