[QUOTE="Union, post: 516491, member: 87673"] Great work Diggen I have a multi seat setup and use MPHSClient to wake up my server when I power up a dedicated MP Client. Had a slight issue because my MP Clients were powering up too quickly for my server hence the server was not ready by the time MP was up. The fix I have used is to un-check “Autostart MediaPortal on Windows startup” in MP configuration and wrote the following batch file:- StartMP.bat start C:\MPHSClient\MPHSClient.exe start /W Wait 15 cd "C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal" start MediaPortal.exe And placed a shortcut to StartMP.bat in the Windows startup folder. Wait.exe is needed and can be found via google, in my configuration I put Wait.exe in the same directory as the StartMP.bat file. The 15 means wait for 15 seconds. From Desktop PC’s I manually run MPHSClient to wake up my server if I wish to use MP, a server based network share, or print via my server. Another alternative from a Desktop PC to start MP would be to manually run the StartMP.bat file but a repeat run of the StartMP.bat file would start another copy of MPHSClient, therefore I guess ideally the StartMP.bat file should check to see if MPHSClient is running!
