Optional Serviio Service Startup

Hello,

It'd be nice if I had an option to manually start the service with the Serviio Console.

At the moment (version 0.4.2) the service loads automatically by default. If I set the service Startup Type to manual with Windows Services, it doesn't load at start up (which is what I want) but I also can't start the service with the Serviio Console since it exits if it doesn't detect the service running.

So, what I'm requesting is

- for the console to start even if the service isn't running.
- a check box on the console for whether the service starts automatically
- a check box on the console for whether the console starts automatically
- possibly yet another check box to indicate whether the service starts when you start the console
- during installation to be asked whether I want an icon for the console on the desktop

That's all! :roll:

Also, I was wondering why the Force Refresh button gets disabled at all. It only gets enabled when I press the Save (configuration I presume) button.

Thanks!

I would appreciate an option in the Serviio console like "Don't start Serviio at startup". Is this possible?

Not in the console, it's Windows only feature. It could be in the installer.. ?

That's OK. Another little thing for the new version:
The "Start Serviio service" and "Stop Serviio service" link in windows should set to "Run as administrator", otherwise it won't work.
