Help: System.Exception: The specified service does not exist as an installed service. #3

How to run this lib through Task Scheduler?

It works perfectly if starting manually via compiled exe or calling the exe via cmd/powershell.

But in Task Scheduler Returns below error: "mediaManager.Start()"

System.Exception: The specified service does not exist as an installed service.

I found a solution.

If the app started hidden, the above message happens, the workaround is to start the app and then hide (eg running on the web server).

I know exactly what you ran into. And yes, the only solution I know so far is to run it starting out in an 'interactive' mode (aka having a window). I don't believe there's any other workaround for it, if you do figure out something else let me know.

I'll look into specifying that into the requirements section. Thanks~

Thanks for your reply, the 'interactive' mode is a solution!

Now i can forward the info to my web socket
