Problem with SnapStream as a service

[mmoore99]

I followed the instructions on the community sight for installing SS as a service. The service appears to be installed and running however the PVS icon does not appear in the task bar. The SS executable will not run because it says an instance of PVS is already running. Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.

Click the check box that says 'Interact with Desktop' and the Icon with show up in the Systray. You will need to modify the shortcut in the startup to start with a switch:

The following are additonal command line options currently available for use with Personal Video Station:

Gui Options
/startscreen [top | home / tv | livetv / library / guide | epg / jobs / recordings]
/defaultscreen [top | home / tv | livetv / library / guide | epg / jobs / recordings]
/closegui
/mode [FS / Windowed / TRUEFS / FAKEFS / None]

Then when you log in it will open in the mode you set.

Hope that helps

Where is the check box that you are referring to? I am not sure where to look.

start -> run -> services.msc -> ok -> highlight the snapstream service -> right click -> properties -> logon tab
