Run PMS as a service

[naks]

Hi all,

been trying to get PMS to run as a service, but hit a little snag:

I can start the service, but even though the wrapper is in the firewall exclusion, it does not work unless Windows Firewall is off. Even then, the PS3 sees the service, I can watch stuff but the PMS client does not see the PS3.

If I disable the service, and enable the Windows Firewall, the PS3 sees the service, I can watch stuff, and the PMS client sees the PS3.

What am I missing here?

Windows 7 Pro SP1 x64, latest java & PMS

Expected behavior, and since the PS3 sees the content, doesn't sound like there are any issues except for the firewall (follow the FAQ - viewtopic.php?f=6&t=3507&start=20#p34933)
The GUI and the service are disconnected, and any statuses in the GUI (detected clients, content being served, etc) are not applicable to the service. If you want to modify settings for the service, you can either modify the PMS.conf directly, or you can stop the service, open the GUI, change and save settings, close the GUI, and then start the service again.

As described in an other post of mine you've to add the service wrapper executable to the windows firewall exception list.

ok remove pms from the exclusion list (its probably added wrong) now make sure in firewall you tick notify me when a application is blocked, now run the wrapper.exe from the "c:\program files (x86)\ps3 media server\win32\service" directory and not from services, let it launch in the console a few seconds later you should get a notification now allow, now close the console box and run ps3 media server from services. problem should be solved.

Hello.
You want that I copy the wrapper.exe in the "win32" directory?
And then I must double-click on this exe?
Thanks.

i had the directory slightly wrong a wrapper.exe file is in this folder this is the one you should be doubleclicking

"c:\program files (x86)\ps3 media server\win32\service"

the first time so u see the firewall notification. just do as above. after u unblock it then u can run it from services.
