Any chance convert Windows Local Server to Jellyfin as a Service?

[michael142857]

I want to run Jellyfin without log in to my windows user account.

I had some trouble with SMB shared location when I frist set up my jellyfin server, so I installed to my local user account instead. However, after a year of moving and relocating, I have re-organized and no longer needed to access to a remote location for my files. I hope I can re-install jellyfin as a service again, so I don't have to enter password each time for jellyfin to run.

I have so many customization, and I cannot seem to re-install it as a service and bring my customization over. I tried "back-up" (https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/admini...nd-restore) as offical jellyfin document says (Backed up my files in %localuserdata%/Jellyfin, and "program files/Jellyfin). When I replaced %localuserdata% to "C:\Program Data\Jellyfin\Server", the entire server broke and won't run. 

Tried https://www.reddit.com/r/jellyfin/commen...s_service/, but service exit with an error when starting. 

I don't want to re-do all my customization and re-download all the subtitles I have downloaded so far. Any idea how I can acheive "run jellyfin without loggin in"?

How do you start Jellyfin now?

You would need to open up the database and manually update any references to %localuserdata% to the new ProgramData path. I had to do the same when converting my install from a bare metal Linux install to a docker intall.

Obviously make a copy of your database before making changes.

Do note that "ProgramData" is one word, not two.
