Automatic login doesnt work when launching placeshifter from command line

[mkanet]

I did several searches on this sub-forum, but I can't find a post which tells you how to connect to the server and login automatically. It's either one or the other; even if I have automatic logins enabled. I did see one post which requires installing another piece of software to automate key presses (which I REALLY want to avoid).

The only time I am able to use the automatic login feature is to launch the Placeshifter executable directly and manually select the server every time.

Is this a bug with automatic login or maybe I need to modify my command line to include username/password? I'm sure there has to be support for this.. its just not too obvious. I even looked through the latest sageTV manual.

start /separate /min javaw -cp MiniClient.jar;jogl.jar;gluegen-rt.jar sage.miniclient.MiniClient serveripaddress

Thanks in advance!

This was fixed in one of the latest builds of SageTV 7. I dont have that problem anymore with the latest SageTV server+sageTV placeshifter.

How do I get this to work? What am I missing? I type in that line and I get can't find start.

Running Windows XP. Running latest version of SageTV and Placeshifter.

What does "I get can't find start" mean? It would be very helpful if you can you type exactly what command-line type typed and what happens when you press enter? Do you get an error message at the command-line; if so, what's the exact error message from beginning to end.

Well in your first post you wrote this:
start /separate /min javaw -cp MiniClient.jar;jogl.jar;gluegen-rt.jar sage.miniclient.MiniClient serveripaddress

That is what I mean start. I typed that line in and ran it and got the error 'Windows could not find 'start'. Make sure you typed it correctly.

You have to run it from the Windows command prompt. You cant paste that in a "run..." dialog box. The idea is to make a batch file (or shortut) that you can double-click). You also need to replace "serveripaddress" with the IP of sageTV server.

Got it. So I put it in a dos window and ran. No errors, but nothing happens.
