Not possible to read from windows registry on extender?
I have some java code some windows registry code. It works fine on the server and clients but doesn't on the extenders. I would think the extender should get the same value as the server but I am getting no return for the extender is there anyway around this issue?
I guess worst case scenerio I could write the server read and make the extenders use that read but would require server running before any extenders not ideal. |

Are you talking about extenders in standalone mode? You're not running under Windows in that mode, hence no registry to read.
If you're talking about extender mode, i.e. connected to a SageTV server, then your code is running on the server and reading the server's registry. If you're having issues with that, maybe you're trying to read from keys that don't exist. But in that case I have no idea what you mean about starting the server before the extenders, since your code executes on the server.

127.0.0.1 is the local machine which would be the server. Wouldn't the path need to be UNC and not mapped?

Yeah the path in the registry is a unc path but for some reason when the extender gets the value that is what it returns but from the server ui it returns fine.

You're sure you're reading the identical registry path in both cases? If it's a subkey of HKEY_CURRENT_USER then it may not be the same, depending on which user you're logged in as. So for instance SageTVService may be logged in as one user and get one value from that key, whereas the SageTV UI process may be logged in as a different user with a different value.
And to state the obvious, code with Windows registry dependencies won't work on Mac or Linux systems. So be aware that you're excluding those users by introducing such dependencies.
