MakeMkv As a Disk Streaming Service
Posted: Mon Oct 31, 2011 4:45 pm
I've got MakeMKV working successfully as a Windows Service Application using the Resource Kit srvany.exe program. The configuration serves the media mounted in disk0 for streaming.
Here are the registry details:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MakeMkvSvc\Parameters]
"Application"="C:\\Program Files\\MakeMkv\\makemkvcon.exe"
"AppDirectory"="C:\\Program Files\\MakeMkv"
"AppParameters"="stream --messages=makemkv.log --upnp=1 --cache=128 --bindport=51000 --decrypt disc:0"
Question:
The makemkvcon.exe process doesn't seem to survive runtime dismount/remount of the media. Is there a command switch or other setting to configure this? Ideally, MakeMkv would disable the streaming server when the media was dismounted, but stay in memory, and automatically re-analyze new media when mounted. This would allow MakeMkv to stay resident and act as a "hands-free" streaming media server for optical media. Thoughts?
FYI, I have Autorun disabled on my dev machine, so maybe this already works but requires that setting?
