My Roon core is on a SonicTransporter, so I use a PC for my Extentions. As well as HQPlayer which also starts automatically from a reboot.
Can anyone guide me how I can make these extentions automatically start and run in W10 ?
Of cause to add the cmd to startup is fairly simple and guides are easily found on the net.
The tric is how to automatically add/paste the required text into the different command windows.
Assuming you allready has the programs installed etc.
Press windows and type cmd:
Then Right click and chose “Open file location”
which should take your here as shown under:
Then copy that shortcut shown above (Node.js command promt), which is most likely to found here for most users:
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Node.js
Then press windows again and type run + enter, (or win logo + r) and you should get as shown beneath:
Type “shell:startup” and enter
Then the startup menu opens, and you past the previous copied shortcut into the startup menu.
Mine looks like this.
Startup menu should be found here:
C:\Users\ YOUR USER NAME\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
Now the comand promt will start twice at boot (in my case), but now we need to do the magic
In the Target window your should see:
C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /k “C:\Program Files\nodejs\nodevars.bat”
Then add something like this this: & “CD C:\Users\ YOUR USER NAME\roon-remote-master & node .”
So everyting should be like this:
C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /k “C:\Program Files\nodejs\nodevars.bat” & CD C:\Users\ YOUR USER NAME\roon-remote-master & node .
What you add depend of cause where you already is running your node.
