Please add the option to inhibit the loading of the server at boot time.

There are ways to disable the Windows service or Mac daemon.

Thanks for the information.

However, once the changes are made the console application won't launch since the server isn't running. What I was looking for was a way to inhibit the auto-launch of the server but still be able to enable the server from the console program.

So what you want is to be able to launch the console without the server running, and be able to start and stop the server service from the console itself. Is that accurate?

Yes, that is exactly what I would like to be able to do.

Console re-design is on the drawing board, so may be worth considering as part of that.

The current "Start Server" and "Stop Server" in the Console doesn't add a lot of value imho as it doesn't start or stop the Serviio service. The ability to start and stop the service from the console would be beneficial, and that then implies that the console must be able to run while the service is stopped.

This is a client-server application, so the console will not start without the server.

Clearly, I don't know any of the details of the application. I would, however, like to make one observation.

When the server is automatically launched at boot time I can open the console side and stop the server. If I then quit the console application and open it again it opens with the server still stopped. I can then start the server from within the console application. Why can't this behavior be incorporated into the console the first time it launches if that is what the user desires?

Actually, the button on the console does not stop the actual Serviio service. It only disables the DLNA server. The service is still running.

If I had to guess, the console itself can't access the database unless the service is running. This would account for why Zip says the console won't run without the service running. Of course, I could be all wet here, too! :lol:

Thanks. That's some good information.

I guess what I am asking for is a method to configure the console so that the DLNA server can be enabled or disabled at boot time. That seems like a simple modification...based on my ignorance of the code, of course
