Hi,  
  
  
  
I would like to see Plex Server created as a service on windows, this way you could have the option of starting Plex Server when you turn on the PC. You don’t have to login to an account. It is great when the power goes out, etc… when the PC powers up so does all the Plex goodness.  
  
I am not sure if you can do this for Mac and Linux but I am sure they would love it too, if possible.
