Hi Schmurtz, So I've installed your new version and have managed to get it to work. Here are a couple of issues that I had to get right in order to do that, for your and others' reference.
I'm running Windows Server 2012R2, so not sure all of this applies to other versions of Windows * You need to set up a Inbound/Outbound traffic rule for S4W in the Firewall. Strangely, the firewall allows traffic out according to its rule only if the executable sits in Program Files rather than in some random directory. * If you launch S4W using a shortcut, you have to make sure that the "Start In" directory is set to the directory of S4W otherwise it will not be able to find the .bat files and will fail to control LMS. I have also set up S4W to run as a service using srvany.exe, so that it runs without a user logging onto the server, but just straight from being booted: (see e.g. http://jack.ukleja.com/utorrent-service-windows-home-server-2011/ for an example of how to do this). Indeed this works. First thing to do is to make the Windows Audio service start automatically, which it does not by default. Then I had to get S4W to start Delayed rather than just Automatically, so that the Audio service is definitely loaded before S4W loads. The key thing here is that the srvany also must start the S4W service in its own directory. This is done by supplying a new parameter in the Parameters key in the registry: you need to add a string AppDirectory with the path to the executable, right under the Application entry. With these tweaks, the AirTunes stream starts in about 2 seconds on my server, although then buffers about 20 or so, so any further changes are much slower (is there some way to tweak down the buffer? I presume this is LMS/Wave Input). Thanks a lot. This is going to make me v. happy. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Wigster's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14899 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=100048 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
