Hi, I recently upgraded serviio 0.6.0 to 0.6.1.

Everything is working right, I followed step by step the instructions on this site to upgrade it.

When I start serviio server, it bounce on the mac dock, then after 50 seconds hangs. The program appear stucked, even if I right click the icon it seems that the app is not responding. But the server is running flawlessy.

What's the problem? Every time I have to shotdown the mac, I have to force the app to close it, otherwise the mac can power off.

Please... as if there weren't headless applications for Mac OS X (including many from the very same OS). It just has to be programmed appropriately. I'm not saying it's easy because I have not idea.
And I actually don't care much if I have to click "Force quit" or "Quit", anyway. It looks like Serviio is not actually killed because it writes more things to the log after a "Force Quit".

Really is that the reason? Then Serviio might wanna look at Plex and other applications that throw the app in the top menu on the Mac as a service :)
Cause an icon bumping like that in the dock over and over is extremely annoying, especially if you also want to do other things on that same mac.
