    Hey there

    After a long time of using mp without any problem I now encounter some sort of a hanging start.
    The problem showed up at my livingroom client with mp 1.11 and is still there with 1.12.
    What's the problem? Mp hangs for maybe 30 secs. within the startup procedere while "starting plugins"
    is being shown on the splashscreen. My first thought was a corrupt db so I went back to an earlier
    backup of my system but that didn't help. Then I updated all my systems to mp 1.12 but that didn't help either.
    What I read in the loggs looked like something with the PS plugin but I'm not sure (and no pro).
    I attached two loggs. One normal (18:58) and one with debug mode enbabled (19:00). Both took the same time to start.

    Grateful for every bit of help.

    Rico

    Hi Rico,

    It seems to have to do with the TV Server. The client is probably waking it up and then has to wait until TV groups and channels have been successfully loaded. Client logs going idle at 18:59:13 and then continues 40sec later when TV information has been gathered.

    [2015-07-13 18:59:13,261] [Log ] [PS StandbyWakeup] [INFO ] - PS: System changed from busy state to idle state
    [2015-07-13 18:59:53,634] [Log ] [TvClient-TvHome: HeartBeat transmitter thread] [INFO ] - ChannelNavigator::Reload()
    [2015-07-13 18:59:53,634] [Log ] [TvClient-TvHome: HeartBeat transmitter thread] [INFO ] - get channels from database
    [2015-07-13 18:59:53,775] [Log ] [TvClient-TvHome: HeartBeat transmitter thread] [INFO ] - found:56 tv channels

    Please post the respective TVServer log in order to see what is happening.

    Me neither.

    The second MP log (19:00) does not look like it was taken in debug mode. Can you verify, and possibly rerun?

    I did not rerun but restored my server to 1.11 and updated new because I figured out that my other client has the same problem.
    So it must be server related. Unfortunately the restore and update didn't change anything...
    I attached the logs from the server.

    Hello,

    The server log is for a MP 1.12 installation. There are just 8 sec elapsing between server launch and it being ready, which looks OK for me. If all clients have a 40 sec lag, something else must be happening.

    No, not necessarily. Some plugins are slow to load, and yes loading will take awhile if you have a lot of plugins and/or a slow system... but loading shouldn't be slow for no reason.
