Im a long time novice user, of about 2 years now i suppose. every so often have this issue where i start my pc and serviio doesnt.
in the task manager there are 2 serviios in the processes and 1 in the services. All 3 are present when i make serviio work after boot up (stop server then start sever), same when the pc starts and serviio is not working, these 3 items are still there
All i want to do is have serviio operational when i boot my pc.. Like it used to and sometimes still does, but not always.....
i have uninstalled/reinstalled several times to no avail, however once i reinstall it, serviio will work the first few times i restart my pc, then it just wont work anymore uless i stop and start the server.. weird

hmm that very strange, ok guess best thing is a complete reinstall of serviio.
1. uninstall serviio
2. check serviio has been completelky deleted, including library.
3. restart PC
4. reinstall serviio 0.6.2
5. test again.
BTW java 1.7.03 is fine.

if it has completely uninstalled you would have to of reentered all your setting in console, like shared folders.
if you did then post again and will foward a link to post to zip as it maybe a bug, if you didnt then uninstall one last time then go to C:\program files\ and find the serviio directory and then delete it, tht will clear any remaning serviio files. then you can reinstall and you should then be sorted.

o yeah, i have to re do all my settings when i reinstall.. i always check to make sure serviio is gone when i uninstall it
edit:
just a thought. ive set the serviio service to "delay" in the services settings.. This works, however.... it takes about 2 minutes for serviio to come on line. This does work without fail though.
Seems to me that there is another service that conflicts with serviio on start up. not sure what tho, relatively new install of x64

ah ok your network card is slow to start that would make sense not much we can do about that, except what u have already done be delaying serviio starting.

kubbaz - Here is what you could do in windows environment. Add 'Tcpip' and/or 'NetBT' services as dependencies to serviio service. This does require you to change registry which could potentially cause problem if you are not careful. However, if setup correctly, this approach is a fail safe method than that of delay start. Setting up a Tcpip dependency on serviio service tells windows not to start serviio until Tcpip (or NetBT = NetBios over TCPIP) is ready.
Procedure to add dependency:
1. Start regedit
2. Go to - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Serviio
3. Then click Add Value
4. Create a new value name "DependOnService" (without the quotation marks) with a data type of REG_MULTI_SZ, and then click OK.
5. When the Data dialog box appears, type Tcpip (case sensitive, one entry for each line if you are adding multiple dependencies), and then click OK.
If the everything entered correctly, your serviio service dependency should look like attached picture.
Note: I also have .reg file with encoded dependonservice key with this post. The .reg file only applies to windows 7 64bit.
WARNING !!! DO NOT APPLY .REG FILE DIRECTLY TO YOUR PC. THE FILE IS FOR YOUR REFERENCE ONLY.

thanks for the suggestion, i shall give it a try.
Im still curious as to why the server starts up for the first few times after i install serviio. Doesn't really make much sense that it decides to fail after 5 or so pc restarts.
And secondly, if i leave it (like i have a choice) every so often it works anyway. What ever the discrepancy is, seems only infrequent.. Or something

Can you post your serviio.log file.

I cant imagine im the only one with this issue, it seems too simple.
i think the above info should be stickied, and maybe elevated to have this reg edit incorporated in the next version. It certainly done the job for me anyway
As far as the results have gone, so far, flawless. I have restarted several times and has worked every time

Ok the
Wiki is awful. Nowhere under Windows Install does it tell about this problem with Servio failing to start at bootup. Nowheres. Where that Wiki link led me to doesn't even make sense when viewing Wiki from Wiki home. This problem needs to be stickied under support itself here! It took me ages figuring out why it was failing to start. And why is the service not installed with delayed startup by default when created or with dependency with TCP/IP?

You may have fixed you problem by now but, I had a similar issue.
When I looked in the Serviio log, it was allocating the "unknown invalid IP address" to itself because the service was starting up before the network card was ready. In my case its because my router (BT HomeHub 2.0A) is a pile off poo! The DHCP Server was not allocating an IP address to my PC fast enough. I fixed the issue on my PC by allocating it a static IP address.
