Serviio

Hello

I have installed Java JRE and the JDK and Serviio on Windows XP.
I could not figure out how to run Serviio (Windows Service) with the Server JVM which resides as a dll in the JDK Folder. I tried to point to the JDK's JRE - folder via environment variable JAVA_HOME but only Files in the standard JRE where accessed. (Testing this with the Process Explorer).

Location Standard JRE (1): C:\Program Files\Java\jre6
Location JDK's JRE (2a): C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_27\bin
Location JDK's JRE (2b): C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_27\jre\bin (subfolders 'client' and 'server' where server jvm resides)

If I have managed it that he loads the files from the location 2b I think we must tell Serviio still that he uses the server jvm by adding the -server tag:

ServiioService.exe.vmoptions -server -Xmx512m

But this is guessing, still need help...

I think just the -server should do. You could also run the .bat file instead of the service and edit that

Hello

Thanks for the hint.
Now if someones got problems with blanks in the path,but solved that.
They should look like this:
set JAVAW=C:\"Program Files"\Java\jdk1.6.0_27\jre\bin\Javaw.exe
In Processexplorer javaw points to the path of the jdk and the server\jvm.dll is used.

I put serviio.bat with gpedit.msc into a computer start up script and it starts like a service with the exception , if a user logs on to the machine , and logs off the process is killed. Perhabs for future releases you should add the option of chosing the jre's path for the windows service and the -server option used.

Overall a nice program , not like Wild Media Server where every client that you want to register needs to be licensed.
