can't shut down computer (1 Viewer)

OK, That's how I had it set up; I've now changed that setting and will see what happens.

Thanks for your help.

Sorry for not replying to your post.

I run another test, where I use the Windows shutdown button. I label the evens with timestamps. I disabled all other programs running in the tray.

Date: 02.10.2007

12:48 Booting up PC.

12:49 MediaPortal starts about here.

13:00 12 min later. Clicking the Windows shutdown button. Nothing seems to happen. If i had some icon in tray they would close down when hovering mouse above them, except MP.

13:10 Right-click and exit MediaPortal on tray.

13:20 Clicking the Windows shutdown button again (this time the PC shuts down).

I finnished the test at 13:20, but the log much have been full. Ill run another test.

14:28:55 MP loads up

14:30:25 Trying a shutdown

There seems to be no difference in the logs. MP doesnt seems to do anything after trying the shutdown

Let us do this systematicly. Please do the following:

0) Select in MP-Configuration under Gerneral -> Log-Level = Debug
1) delete everything in the log directory
2) start MP
3) after 3 min -> try a shutdown
4) wait 1 min
5) close MP
6) post all files in the log directory

This should help to find the problem.

19:05:18 Starting up MP
19:08:21 Initiating a system shutdown (only thing that closes was Internet Explorer)
19:09:23 Exiting MP on tray

Hi,

This appears to be the latest thread on this topic.. Was this ever solved?
I have MP installed on 5 PC's around the house and I have to manually exit
MP on all of them before a windows shutdown works. I have 'minimize to tray
on exit' enabled on all of them and that's the configuration I want and I don't
see why this should cause MP to interfere with a windows shutdown..

Thanks, Jason

Hi,
I got the same Problem.
Shutting down Windows after starting MediaPortal take a long long time.
Even when the application (the task) is closed, a process mediaportal.exe is still running. This process even cannot be killed!
I did NOT select the 'minimize to tray on exit'-option.

I'd like to know: How can I restart mediaportal without restarting windows?

Any response highly appreciated.
