      @controlav - I am interested to see if the Windows 10 app can be ported to run on Windows 10 IoT Core. This would enable the Windows app to run on a $35 RaspberryPi that can sit in a corner and be dedicated to this purpose. If you are interested, can you share the app source with me? I will be happy to share the solution back and provide guidance on how to set it up and get it running.

      I run my own copy of My Speaker on a Raspberry Pi 2, 24x7: no porting necessary, it just works. However there's no simple way to make it easy for customers to install (and update it) it - there is no Store on IoT builds except for commercial builds, which is way too much work/cost. Sorry, I'm not sharing the source.

      Is it possible to run the app as a windows service? It would like to have it running in the background.

      Check the web site for details of making it auto-start. However it wont run as a Service.

      Having it autostart was never an issue :)
      Since you don't want to have your code open sourced, maybe take a look at http://topshelf-project.com/ for making it run as a service in the background. Pretty simple stuff and easy to to set up and get it up and running as a windows service.

      I am thinking of releasing the version that runs on a Raspberry Pi, which are small, cheap and can easily run 24x7. If anyone is interested in that, PM me.
