Hi All
Any ideas how I can run plexconnect at startup but in the background on windows. Currently just have it running from the startup folder but it means I always have the python window running, i`d rather have it run as a service or something without having to login.
any suggestions? thanks alot
It is my understanding that having Plexconnect run as a service is on the list of enhancements, but at the moment I have not found a to run it in the background and when not logged on.
Simple solution if you don't want to run it as a service (http://forums.plexapp.com/index.php/topic/77832-plexconnect-windows-service/?p=446221) rename PlexConnect.py to PlexConnect.pyw.
Click on PlexConnect.pyw and PlexConnect will run in the background.
To start PlexConnect on Windows logon, make a shortcut to PlexConnect.pyw and place it in your StartUp folder (StartMenu > Startup).
Only one disadvantage; If you want to stop/restart PlexConnect you have to kill the process in the Task Manager (pythonw.exe).

This makes me so happy in ways I can't even explain.
