UMS as a windows service
Posted: Fri May 12, 2017 11:16 pm
After about 50 hours of attempting to get the universal media server to run as a Windows service I have simply given up . Many hours of googling have been wasted to find little to zero help in this regard . Many hours have been spent in the windows firewall adding rules then playing with the many switches and settings that just seem to be ignored in all the forum posts. yet it works perfectly with the firewall off or running without being a service.
the problem here is everytime your computer reboots itself or anything the UMS goes down until you get up and login to windows. And I guess that was fine the the first few hundred times but I'm sick to death of it. I just want it to work without having to go to the computer every other day because it stopped, yet again.
UMS is easier to set up headless on Ubuntu than to get it to run as a Windows service . Unfortunately though , the VMS just does not survive long enough with my many power outages. and reinstalling from scratch every couple of months is out of the question.
I would love nothing better to for someone to step up and write a clear and accurate post on exactly what firewall rules need to be in place for ums to actually work.
Not just the inbound rules. Not just wrapper.exe. but the whole firewall needs. Like I've never even seen a firewall rule in my entire freaking life.
Otherwise I'm about to say goodbye to this fine product in search of something that will actually fulfill my needs without being so aggravating.
commonly ignored in post about this issue follow.
1 should the service run as a user name or as local system account.
2 what start parameters should be in place?
3 should dependencies be listed, if so what are they.
4 inbound rules that say more that tcp, udp, or any. what about the many other settings
5 outbound rules so many post completely neglect to mention outbound rules at all. do we just not need any?
Honestly if the thing just loaded when the computer booted up it would be perfect in my opinion. I've never had a single problem with it other than the fact I have to get up every day or two to start it again.
I don't think anyone's ever going to answer how to get it done as I've completely lost faith . So I'd like to thank you guys for this product and I have had many hours of enjoyment from it but it's simply time to find something hassle free so I'm gonna wish you the best of luck.
