File Scan Enabled on Startup, DOES NOT RUN with Library installed AS A SERVICE

[brianpeabody]

MM win Ver 4.1.29.1910

I long had MM (various versions) installed to scan the library for changes at startup. It's still configured to do so, but no longer does, apparently since installing the Library as a service (@ 192,168,1,31:50247 - Status:Running).

I can still force the update by pressing [Ins]

Do you mean it doesn't run when the Service starts at PC start or that it doesn't run when you switch from Service to full software?

Hi,
Please note that Credentials to services are sometimes loaded bit later so MM was maybe blocked to scan and silently fail because it is started as service.

@Lowlander - I mean that the scanning doesn't take place when I start the MM full product.

@Peke - The PC on which the service is running has been up for days, and the service running for days. (It supports Denon/Marantz component HEOS playback elsewhere on the network.) Therefore, unless the service credentials are somehow suspended and reloaded when MM full program starts, your hypothesis seems unlikely.

As MediaMonkey is already running, I'm not sure that you should expect it to run, unless it didn't run on Service start. ie. in this scenario Continuous Scanning would be needed.

I was referring that credentials are assigned bit later on service start. For me if I close/stop MM (service included) -> create new folder in my "on startup" monitoring folder and add few files -> then restart PC -> I get new files scanned and in MM library once MM service is started.

To be sure, you would like that On start search is executed every time when you switch MM from Service to full app even on startup scan is done apron service start?
