Serviio server doesn't work sometimes

Hi everyone,

I installed Serviio v 1.9.2 on one of my old computers running Windows 10 pro 64 bit.
It works great.... most times :roll:
Its service has been set to be run on sturtup of OS and in services tab of windows it seems to be running, but sometimes it doesn't work and my TV (or any other media) can't read the files on it. So from the web gui, I stop the server and run it again and it start working eventually. What is the problem and how I can fix it for good?
Thank you.

Happy Holidays.

First, I suggest installing the latest version. 1.9.2 was released in May, while 1.10.1 was released a couple of weeks ago. Mine is running on Win 10 Pro without issue, so there's nothing specific about Windows stopping it. Try the latest version first, then let us know if you're still having a problem.

Ok, I will.

Can it be updated without losing my setup and files?
Is there anything I need to know before updating Serviio?
Thank you

Yes, running the Windows install with an existing installation does not alter any console configuration. It does overwrite the profiles file, so if you have made any modifications those are lost. However, if you need to use a customized profile you can create a user profiles file (user-profiles.xml), which is not overwritten during an update.

Thanks,

Anyway, I might have found the ultimate solution without any other struggles:

Ah yes. Multiple network cards can accidentally cause a problem if Serviio binds to the wrong one. Hope that fixes it for you. :)
