Remove project.serviceclass name from servicestack url - rest

Question

I'm playing around with some of the ServiceStack demos and example code and I'm trying to see if there is a way to remove the need to have the project.serviceclass name in the url. I used the nuget packages and created a ASP.NET MVC application called MvcMovieApp and created a SS service called MovieService.
[Route("/Movie")]
[Route("/Movie/{Name}")]
public class Movie
{
public long Id { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public string Description { get; set; }
public string Genre { get; set; }
}
public class MovieResponse
{
public string Result { get; set; }
}
public class MovieService : Service
{
public object Any(Movie request)
{
return new MovieResponse { Result = "The best Movie is " + request.Name };
}
}
So to get the response I have to request:
localhost/api/MvcMovieApp.MovieService/Movie/MyMovie
but I want to be able to make the request
localhost/api/Movie/MyMovie
Is there a way to do this?

Update 2:
I was able to get it to work kind of. I was trying to integrate ServiceStack in with an MVC application. So my Application_Start has the following:
protected void Application_Start()
{
AreaRegistration.RegisterAllAreas();
FilterConfig.RegisterGlobalFilters(GlobalFilters.Filters);
// RouteConfig.RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);
}
Commenting out the MVC RouteConfig fixed the problem and lets me call the ServiceStack apis properly. Here's the RegisterRoutes method. I have the line so that MVC is supposed to ignore everything going to API.
public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
{
routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");
//routes.MapHttpRoute(
// name: "DefaultApi",
// routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{id}",
// defaults: new { id = RouteParameter.Optional }
//);
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Default",
url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
routes.IgnoreRoute("api/{*pathInfo}");
routes.IgnoreRoute("{*favicon}", new { favicon = #"(.*/)?favicon.ico(/.*)?" }); //Prevent exceptions for favicon
}
Any ideas what I've done wrong? Thanks

The httpHandlers section can only appear once per config file. Also you don't need to to include path=api* in the httpHandler when it is a sub item of the location.
Use only this for your config:
<location path="api">
<system.web>
<httpHandlers>
<add path="*" type="ServiceStack.WebHost.Endpoints.ServiceStackHttpHandlerFactory, ServiceStack" verb="*" />
</httpHandlers>
</system.web>
<!-- Required for IIS 7.0 -->
<system.webServer>
<modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true" />
<validation validateIntegratedModeConfiguration="false" />
<handlers>
<add path="*" name="ServiceStack.Factory" type="ServiceStack.WebHost.Endpoints.ServiceStackHttpHandlerFactory, ServiceStack" verb="*" preCondition="integratedMode" resourceType="Unspecified" allowPathInfo="true" />
</handlers>
</system.webServer>
</location>
