Mezzmo 'media server' will not auto start in Windows 10 on a clean install, new gaming desktop.

Any ideas how I can get the media server to auto start (checked in options) as my previous build did.

Thanks, Dan

I'd suggest going to Windows Administrative tools and find Services. Look for Mezzmo and see if the Startup Type is set for Automatic. If it isn't then change it to Automatic.

I would highly suggest switching to Plex. Mezzmo is dead the software hasn't been updated in 3 years!

Yeah. Except that it's not. You should probably go troll elsewhere.

Indeed. I just finished writing an iHeart Radio addon for Mezzmo which is coming out in version 6 so I am pretty confident that the previous comment is quite incorrect.

As much as I hate responding to trolls, I can't understand why anyone would use Plex. It's a nightmare. Mezzmo is far superior, in almost every way.
