Call for tester for 1.4.0 features and fixes (2 Viewers)

Good Idea! I'm also willing to just test source patches - so no need to build new binaries.

Next time, please record with more fps.

I increased the FPS this time Just didn't want to make the video so big, but it doesn't change much so I have now something like 120fps^^

I used you latest build 16a on page 48 Didn't do any other test yet except the "blackscreen" test, it wasn't really a issue for me, but now it looks like it is gone

Apologies if this is barking up the wrong tree, but I think I'm on the right github branch here, and in the right place:

https://github.com/MediaPortal/Medi.../MediaPortal.Application/MediaPortal.cs#L1700

Did you push up the try block, I don't see it?

 

[FreakyJ]

here you go:

Line 1724 - 1733

Edit:
Link to Branch:

Can you try this one quickly, just a recompile/repackaging

Quick enough?
That fixed it yeah Thanks

OK, for starters: Add an return statement to the beginning of the MinimizeToTray() method in D3D.cs, do disable any form of MP deactivation in regards to its main rendering/processing loop that might deactivate the message pump.

When Windows suspends itself it tells all apps to deactivate itself. We follow that. In our case we go to the tray (the tray part is not the important one here) and deactivate rendering and stuff. Maybe this has impact on the plugins that are waiting for the event, meaning MP does not allow them do to anything anymore.

Any ideas regarding the volume handler?

 

[Scythe42]

Could your check your source that it really has the try/catch block in OnResume()? If yes, then replace the current catch block with an emtpy one "catch () {}". This make C# ignore all errors.

 

[disaster123]

Yes it contains the try and catch stuff. But even if i remove the catch i would still have the problem that i can't control the volume in MP ;-)

 

[FreakyJ]

maybe you try the binaries from scythe so we can be sure that it isn't a problem of your build
