IRServerSuite - Maybe a stupid question (1 Viewer)

[syedamerali]

I am running xp service pack 3
IRServerSuite 1.4.2.3158
Device Manager reports the driver as eHome Infrared Receiver

At startup the PC does not respond to remote commands but if I right click on the IR Server icon and choose Configuration - the window for configuration opens. I then click ok in the configuration window - To which it says IR Server will be restarted. To which I say OK again. And after a bit ....

The remote starts working like it should.

Is there something simple i am over looking ?
Is there some way short of writing a script to mimic these actions to get it going at start up?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

kindest regards

Tried same behaviour.

What needs to be done is to restart the process "IR Server.exe" (When it is being run as an application) - It works every time.
At first I tried it with task manager - and then I thought I would automate the process.

So I wrote an Autoit script to do this:

sleep (15000)
ProcessClose ("IR Server.exe")
sleep (1000)
run("c:\Program Files\IR Server Suite\IR Server.exe")
sleep(1000)

This script was compiled into an exe and put in startup. Does Not work. But, if I manually execute the compiled exe after windows startup, works every time.

Is there a command line option for IR Server.exe which makes it stop and restart ?

kindest regards

PS The behaviour is exactly the same with win 7, 32 bit

Did you find a solution to this? Having the same issue on Win7 X64.

I switched to eventghost.
Eventghost needs to be started 15 seconds after windows startup - If you start it with windows does not work
