MP Hangs when Powerscheduler trying to suspend, new in CVS - Page 2

htpcoz · 2005-12-22, 23:14

The code was changed in a CVS release since 0.2.

Previously the only code that called Recorder.Stopviewing was the powerscheduler code. Since then code has been added into the main MP source that monitors widnows power events, and if it gets a suspend notification that new code calls Recorder.Stopviewing.

I think two calls to that function result in the lockup, so I've just unchecked the "disable tv cards" checkbox, as that now appears to be superfluous, the main MP code now does that by default.

Since unchecking that all has been fine.

Probably should look at removing the checkbox from the powerscheduler, as it's no longer needed.

heheh, this explains why I am having different issues with MP now...

I use Compro cards and as they use the PCI stand by power rail you have to disable "turn off TV cards" or they don't turn back on (as they always have power). In the last few CVS's when mp resumes from sleep I just get a blank screen. I guess the Disable TV card option is enforced regardless of the option inPower Scheduler...

I resolved this by simply activating the "Force shutdown" option in the PowerScheduler settings. Don't know what this means, but the PC now hibernates correctly (so not really a forced shutdown here).

Yeah, I think the PowerScheduler settings could need some attention in the next release

Yep, forced shutdown worked for me too.
I was going to test it a little before I posted here, but i guess a second opinion is just as good ;-)

Funny, before the changes forced shutdown caused problems on my system. I guess CVS is all about adapting...

hello,

I try the latest CVS (with MP RC2) and powerscheduler is still not working very well. When i check "force shutdown" speedfan become crazy.
I try to uncheck "disable tv card before shutdown" but MP suspend even if record is in action.

MP is now very usefull and stable. It's my first post, so i want to congratulate all the devellopers for their excellent work.

Thank you
