Starting MediaServer with Command Line, batch file, to assign High priority

[Lifferds]

Can the MediaServer be started from a batch file so that I can assign it a High priority? The menus seem to pop better and hopefully stuttering will be reduced.

If so, what syntax should I use?

Hi Tom,

Mezzmo server is run as a Windows service on your computer and the service is called MezzmoMediaServer.exe. There's no specific commandline for Mezzmo server to set the process priority. A quick Google tells us that you could try this method: http://www.raymond.cc/blog/permanently-set-process-priority-in-windows-task-manager-with-prio/

Paul,
Thanks. Will give it a try. Hopefully that will also end the premature video stop and advancing to the next video in the folder. I suspect at normal priority, Mezzmo occasionally gets interrupted by email or other app demanding processor time, causing a hiccup in the DLNA stream.

This works great. Saves the Priority across sessions and even allows one to set an affinity to individual cores if needed. That link is for WinXP. Here is one for Win7. http://prio.en.softonic.com/

Glad it works for you. And thanks for posting back your experiences for other users.
