There are two styles of the config file. If it is in the windows .ini format, i.e. if the first non-comment line is a section header, then it expects it in key = value format. If there is no section header, it’s in “compatibility” mode, and it doesn’t expect an =.
I need to divert logging to the eventlog before it reads the config file, but that’s the issue.
My suggestion would be to use the same technique as before: run it in the foreground and see what it’s mad about. “c:program filesmt-daapd -d9 -f”
