Ceton Proxy won't load when windows starts about cetonproxy HOT 7 OPEN

Hi,
I had a similar situation. So to get around it, I created a script that starts CetonProxy after a short delay. Also, I use Emby with my setup, which doesn't seem to care if CetonProxy loads after. But you can add a step to load NextPVRServer after CetonProxy which would hopefully resolve your issue. Below is the script...should help in getting you started. Feel free to reach out if you need some help.

And to 'craigmox', thank you soo much for this tool. Soo happy to get rid of WMC....nice work!

:: Name: CetonProxy.cmd
:: Purpose: Starts CetonProxy after system reboot.
:: Author: mpatriche
:: Revision: September 2020 - initial version

@echo OFF
ECHO Starting CetonProxy... Please Wait...
timeout /T 30 >nul
start C:\Tools\CetonProxy\cetonproxy.exe

from cetonproxy.

I really appreciate this mpatriche......but I'm a newb.....I don't code or even know what to do with a script but I can follow directions and learn if you have a few minutes to post what I should do.

And yes, thanks to craigmox.......even with the pain of having to manually restart cetonproxy when the system restarts I still prefer not dealing with WMC

Hey...no worries.. Glad to help.. I can write you a custom script...and explain how to implement it.

Couple questions about your setup, and again, I'm not that familiar with NextPVR. When you have to restart NextPVR, how do you restart it? Do you restart the NextPVR Recording Service (NRecord.exe) via the "Services" management console?

Also, can you post the full path to where "CetonProxy.exe" is installed on your computer?

Thank you so much

I have never manually launched the NextPVR service. What I do to reset my system after a reboot is I manually hit the icon for cetonproxy, thanks craigmox for taking out the need to search for channels.....and after cetonproxy loads I simply start the NextPVRserver manually. If I wait too long I have to use the task manager to first shut down the server and restart but since I no longer have to search for channels in cetonproxy if I hit the icon I created for the server it loads and identifies the tuners and then NextPVR is up and runnng. So it appears that as long as cetonproxy loads and activates before the NextPVRserver is started all is well.

Cetonproxy is located in C:\Program Files\Ceton Proxy

and

NextPVR is loacated in C:\Program Files\NextPVR

Thanks again........Ron
