instead of running the Windows service you can run Serviio.bat and ServiioConsole.bat from the bin folder. You could write a wrapper bat file that executes them in sequence. I think there might be an example somewhere here, try to search.

Here is the startserviio.bat I use:

  Code:

@echo off
: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/251192 how to start a service with sc command
: ensure serviioX console and service is stopped
echo ..
echo Stopping Serviio Service, Serviio, and Console if started...
echo ..
echo This takes about 2 seconds...
call "C:\Program Files\Serviio\bin\serviio.bat" -stop
sc stop serviio
@CHOICE /T 2 /D Y> NUL

echo ..
echo Now Starting Serviio Service and Console.....
echo ..
echo This takes about 4 seconds...
echo ..
sc start serviio
@CHOICE /T 4 /D Y> NUL
start "" "C:\Program Files\Serviio\bin\serviioconsole.exe"
echo ..
echo And 13 seconds to start the Console...
@CHOICE /T 13 /D Y> NUL
