Strange media sharing issue

[jwhitworth]

2024.2.2.3222

I setup media sharing on MediaMonkey 2024.2.2.3222 on a HTPC attached to my AVR. I control it using MediaMonkey on my android tablet. All is good when I start MM on the HTPC. I can easily avigate thru my music collection. I setup media sharing as a service since it would be nice to not have to access the HTPC interface just to turn on MM.

When running as a service I can see the media server. I can navigate to a specific album Music --> Album Artist --> Album. When I select any album the list of tracks never appears and I get a time out. This does not happen when not running as a service.

Any ideas.

Are you sure the Service was setup as the same Windows User as you're running MediaMonkey itself as? The MediaMonkey settings are per Windows User. Furthermore the Service Windows User also needs access rights to the files (for example have login for network shares).
