Do not change Serviio running status at reboot

Hello,

I observed (in Serviio v1.6 and v1.6.1 on macOS 10.11.6) that:
- if you manually switch Serviio Server Status to "Stopped" with Serviio-console
- then, after rebooting the computer, the status is automatically forced to "Running" all the same

I would find more logical and useful that Serviio keeps the running status set by the user ('Running" or "Stopped"), even after rebooting the computer. Would it be possible in next version?

Congratulations for this amazing media server :-)

Hi,

Serviio 1.8 (on macOS) keep the same annoying behaviour:
- if you manually stop Serviio (with Serviio-Console)
- it automatically restarts at the next reboot

So for the "normal user" the only solution to really stops Serviio is to uninstall it... And re-install it next time you'll need it.
Wouldn't it be more reasonable to keep Serviio "Stopped" (even after a reboot) if the user pressed the button "Stop server"?
and restart it if, and only if, the user pressed again the button "Start Serviio"?

Regards.
