How to install !StreamBaby as a Windows service

Note: This is not really supported and most of my development is done on Linux, so is only provided as a convenience.

Details

Install StreamBaby as normal
In file explorer, browse to the streambaby/extra/service/win32 directory
On Vista or above, you will need to right click on install-streambaby-service and select run-as-administrator. For XP simply double clicking on install-streambaby-service should suffice.
This will install Streambaby as an auto-start service. It will however not be started immediately after installation (unless you reboot)
To start the service without reboot after you install it, for Vista or above right-click on start-streambaby-service and select run-as-administrator. For XP simply double click.
To uninstall streambaby as a service, on Vista or above right-click uninstall-streambaby-service and select run-as-administrator. For XP simply double click it.
Note: Windows services by default don't have access to network drives, so if any of your videos are on network drives you will have a problem. (Same goes but worse if the streambaby app is installed on a network drive)

===Linux startup script===
There is also a linux script that will run streambaby as daemon using standard linux daemon control parameters (start/stop/etc). The scripts are located in the extra/service/linux32 and linux64 directories and is called simply streambaby.
