Controlling the server and the plugin

How to start and stop the server and the plugin.

Start the Server

The Mediaserver usually starts automatically when the host computer boots up.

Start it manually from the command line with either of the following commands:

Linux

sudo service networkoptix-metavms-mediaserver start

sudo systemctl start networkoptix-metavms-mediaserver.service

Windows

Open the Services application, select the Network Optix Server service that matches the customization, and control it from the context menu or the start, restart, and stop links.

Restarting the Server

Restart the server from the command line too.

Linux

sudo service networkoptix-metavms-mediaserver restart

sudo systemctl restart networkoptix-metavms-mediaserver.service

Windows

Open the Services application, select the Network Optix Server service that matches the customization, and control it from the context menu or the start, restart, and stop links.

Restart the server from the built-in Nx Meta Mediaserver web interface instead. Access it at https://localhost:7001/, at https://127.0.0.1:7001/, or at the external IP address on the same port.

Stopping the Server

Stopping the server on the command line is similar to starting and restarting.

Linux

sudo service networkoptix-metavms-mediaserver stop

sudo systemctl stop networkoptix-metavms-mediaserver.service

Windows

Open the Services application, select the Network Optix Server service that matches the customization, and control it from the context menu or the start, restart, and stop links.
