Serviio Icon right click new options

On Windows, there is an icon for the Serviio Console on the task bar.
When you right-click on the icon you already have some options (0.4.2 version):
- Open Serviio Console
- [Check] Library automatic uptade
- Exit Serviio console
- Exit Serviio


I would make some suggestions:

Is it possible to add an option for manually update the media library (according to the console option)(similar to the force refresh button) ?
Is it possible to add some advanced options with sub sections like this?

- Open Serviio Console
- [Check] Library automatic uptade
- Update Media Library
- Advanced
\-------Start serviio service / Stop serviio service
\-------Start serviio server / Stop serviio server
\-------Open Debug console
- Exit Serviio console
- Exit Serviio

\_Open Debug console

NOt sure what you mean?

Done this over the weekend.

To manage the Windows service, I might add it to the Start menu item instead. For the other ones, create a bitbucket ticket, please.

OK great,

For the debug console:
I mean, when you select this advanced option, a simply windows will be opened with debug.log file content and in this windows some options like: Clear / [Check] Detailled logging...
But in fact its probably not a good idea, too heavy just for debugging purposes.

But start and stop service could be a good option,
Because it is tedious to open multiple windows (Computer Management -> Services -> Serviio -> Start) to just restart the serviio service.

+1 for the start/stop (or restart) Serviio Service. My xbox sometimes likes to stop talking to the service and the only way to get it going again is restarting the service. Currently, I pretty much always have the services.msc running with Serviio highlighted so I can click on the restart easily.

As an alternative to having it in the tray icon menu, you could also add it to the Status tab of Serviio Console.

Service start/stop will be in the Start menu. I wont be adding it to the console itself, as it's Windows specific feature.
