Service/Server automatic startup

[crankywilson]

Hi, I couldn't figure out how to make the service that runs on port 8866 ~not~ automatically start up.  I would like to start this explicitly only when I want to use it.  I now have to manually exit the tray app every time I start this computer.

Go to services.msc and change the "NextPVR Recording Service" to manual. Then you can either start the service when you need it or just run NextPVRServer.exe from the command line.

I set up 7.1.1.260616 on Windows 11 and tried this solution to keep it from auto-starting, but it didn't work. The service still starts every time I reboot, even though it's set to manual and there are no dependencies. I also removed NPVRTray from the startup folder, and that kept the tray icon from appearing on reboot, but the service still starts. How can I prevent the service from starting?

You did something wrong. You can also disable the service entirely.
