Firefly spawns a network-enabled service, and “Hauptbenutzer” or local users aren’t allowed to do that.

Thats clear.
When Firefly is new installed (as admin) the local user cannot start nor stop the Firefly service manually. (with manually i mean in service-controll-section of Windows)
When i give the local user-group full “file-permission” to Firefly.exe (the service-programm) i can start and stop (as local user) the service in the Windows-Service section. The color is changing of the Firefly-Icon.
But when trying to start/stop the Firefly Service within the Firefly-Config-Tab (startet with the Icon) Firefly reports “can’t start/stop server”.

In WMP11 for example the streaming has to be enabled as administrator. When switching on as administrator WMP asks if any user is allowed to stream. As an local user i can afterwards switch on/off the sharing in WMP.

So it must be possible to set the permissions adequad for Firefly as well to run in local user envirement without restriction.

Thanks for the help.
