Seeing as this has come up again, the best solution I have found is to run both as a service (I'm using the MS srvany.exe method for MM, Google is your friend). but then using regedit, add a new Multi-string value under the Slimserver service Key. Name this DependOnService, and then edit it to hold the name of your MusicMagic service. This way, the slimserver service won't start until the MM service has started.

It starts mm as a service at boot and works well with ss. You can find it at http://www.basta.com. a couple of tips: - when setting up mm as service, initially set it to 'interact with desktop.' this way you can make sure the api service is started and do other troubleshooting (even if you have set the api service in regular mode, it goes away when run as service and needs to be turned on again). Once everything is working well, turn off the interact with desktop - otherwise the mm application always comes up on the desktop, and if closed the service stops. - when upgrading ss from one version to another, the musicmagic plugin may need to be reset within ss. check it in server settings > plugins. make sure the setting takes. then what works for me is: stop the ss service. stop the mm service. start the mm service. start the ss service. now double check server settings to see if 'use mm' is checked. if so, you should be set. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
