Automatically start tvserver on client

risu · 2007-09-20, 10:35

Could there be an option for tv client plugin (for single seat) to start tvserver automatically if not running? This would be checked when entering tv-mode on mediaportal.

If server not running -> check user allowing server startup -> start server -> try again until timeout -> ask user for server address if still no server present.

Oops, this should have gone under improvement suggestions. Mods, if you read this, please move this.

Another idea. If no server found and singleseat, put a button to screen where MP prompts user to type server name. And that button would try to start tv server on single seat.

Trying to think why TVServer would not be running, unless incorrectly setup, or physically stopped by user.

Mines also setup to restart after 1 minute under adminstrator\services\TVserver in the event of crash or closure, with unlimited retries enabled (also linked to sql services as a dependancy).
