and yes used 1.7 Pre Prelease

How Init and Stop AtmoLight..

Plugin load from MediaPortal.exe/Configuration.exe
1. checking if Atmolight enabled/disabled = disable then nothing will do
if enabled then
2. Load AtmoLight Settings
3. checking if Process Configuration available = true i do nothing
false then
4. Checking the new Settings-Flag StartAtmoWin if false i do nothing
true then
5. checking if Process atmowin available = true ConnectToAtmoWinA
false then
6. Start AtmoWinA.exe
7. ConnectToAtmoWinA
---------------------------------
Plugin stop
1. Destroy Com Object atmoCtrl
2. checking for processbyname "atmowina" if found then
3. Kill process AtmoWinA.exe
4. Refresh the traynotify so remove the icon from it after Kill process AtmoWinA.exe
---------------------------------
that is all

No clue, i'm already looking in logs, but haven't found anything useful yet.
I can show you it's not working here on TeamViewer if you like.

** EDIT **
So weird, just tried it again, and now it works!

Bah, had the option 'Start with MP' checked, and then it closes fine.
Here's the log with ONLY 'Exit with MP' checked, and manually started AtmoWin:

There seems to be a difference in logs w/o 'Start with MP' checked.

i have found the mistake.
do you run AtmoWinA before, the Com Object is NULL
and is NULL then i will never fired getprocessbyname so that can not work

here are a update.. should work now.

 

[HomeY]

here are a update.. should work now.

Yeps, now it closes AtmoWin when it's manually started

do you find other Problem then tell me please..

Well, you know me as 'problem finder'

This is the only situation it does NOT close AtmoWin, but i think we can't handle this becaues i think it's a missing connection.

1. Only have 'Exit with MP' checked
2. Start MP
3. Start AtmoWin
4. Exit MP

But the next time you start MP (and have AtmoWin running since it didn't close, it attaches nicely to the process, so on the 2nd Exit, AtmoWin is also closed.
I don't think we should worry about this, but might be good to know.

My 'biggest problem' now is that i just received my LEDs, but don't have an Arduino yet to hook it up

Das ist Dummheit vom Anwender
MP initialisiert das Plugin beim start startest du AtmoWinA.exe im nachhinein dann kann und wird das niemals funktionieren.
weil das IPlugin Interface (Initialisierung) dann nie wieder angesprochen wird.
----------------------------------------------------------
This is stupidity by the users
MP Initializes the plugin at the start you start AtmoWinA.exe in retrospect then and that will never work.
because the IPlugin interface (initialization) is then never addressed.

I was expecting a reaction like that and i sort of agree
Keep in mind that a lot users don't look @ / know the processes in the background.

do you start the Server with Client, or start Client with Server?

Ein Client kann einen Dienst bei dem Server anfordern, welcher diesen Dienst bereitstellt.
A client can request a service on the server, which provides this Service.

Der Dienst kann nicht bereit gestellt werden wenn der Server = AtmoWinA.exe erst im nachhinein gestartet wird.
The service can not be provided if the server = AtmoWinA.exe is started only in hindsight.

do not cry, take time...
