Serice not starting

I have Serviio on a Windows 7 media NAS/Server. It is powered on by BIOS and off by Task Scheduler every day. When it restarts after a shutdown Serviio service is not starting automatically, even though it is set to do so and I have to remote in and do it manually every day. Any ideas? Thanks

Does a detailed log shed any light on why it is not starting?
The log should show Serviio attempting to start and then perhaps give a clue as to what went wrong. If there is nothing in the log showing it attempting to start, I'd suggest you havent got the auto start set correctly (run services.msc and check that the Serviio Service is set to StartUp Type: Automatic).
Are you doing a full shutdown, not hibernate or sleep?

Thanks for the reply. As you can see from my post it is set to run automatically, but just isn't doing it. It is scheduled to do a full shutdown. Here is a copy of the log:

I can't see anything obvious that identifies the problem.

Wrong file. The log file is in "C:\Program Files\Serviio\log\serviio.log".

The file in your post ("C:\Program Files\Serviio\config\log4j.xml") controls the level of detail in the log file. You can set:

  Code:

<category name="org.serviio">
<priority value="INFO"/>
</category>

to

  Code:

<category name="org.serviio">
<priority value="DEBUG"/>
</category>

and then save the file and restart your PC/Serviio Service. This sets Serviio to debug mode and gives the most information.

After your task scheduler does its thing and Serviio fails to start, look at the bottom of the log and see if it sheds any light on what is happening.

Once you have the info you need, reset the 'log4j.xml" file back to the way it was, and restart.

Hmmm. Something up with this forum site. From the time I clicked login it took around 1 minute to actually log in. Posting this reply took the same amount of time before I got here. I expect SUBMIT will be the same based on this.

Is there a way I can get email notification when there is a response as I have no idea if anyone has replied?

I'll take another look at the log and get back, that's if I can log in....

Here's a different log based on debug:

Is this log any better? I can't see anything that helps me so unless anyone can come up with a solution I'll have to uninstall Serviio and try something else.

No , you need to post the C:\Program Files\Serviio\log\serviio.log file (after restarting your PC).
