OK, I have an interim solution for this. I've posted a new version of
SCPowerTool.exe at the head of the thread. This version includes a
quickly hacked in undocumented arg: "--screstart". To make this option
work you MUST invoke SCPowerTool.exe with the StartHidden.exe utility
that is also in the SCPowerTool.exe zip file.
You'll need to copy the SCPowerTool.exe and StartHidden.exe files to
some folder on your path, e.g. C:\Windows. Then, in the SrvrPowerCtrl
plugin settings, set the "Restart SqueezeCenter Command" to:
Code:
--------------------
c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe /C start /B starthidden.exe scpowertool.exe
--screstart --log
--------------------
Remember, this ONLY works if SqueezeCenter is configured to run as a
service.
