[TV] disable the (repeating) "connection to tv server lost" message? (2 Viewers)

Guys, what about skin property with word "online" instead of GUIDialogOK?

So the message could be disabled in the skinfiles? Sounds as a great solution to me!

@Sebastiii: about your solution: Any chance to add a time-out to the message? So let the message move from the screen after let's say 5 seconds or so?

Seb -
I've tried out your patch (binaries) and they work (W764, MP 1.4). My tvserver is unavailable right now and I get an initial message but after that it doesn't show up again.
I don't have access to the TVserver right now so I can't give feedback on what happens if/when the tvserver becomes available/not available.

Thanks for the report

I have change to that, now it's a dialog notify with a timeout of 5 seconds

That mean, if TVService goes to off, we only get 1 message with 5 sec timeout

Hi Seb,

Working fine for me on the dev laptop.

One thought - is it possible to reduce the amount of logging if the TV server is off-line (which is most of the time in my case) - the log fills up with:

[2013-07-01 13:11:42,845] [Log	] [TvClient-TvHome: HeartBeat transmitter thread] [DEBUG] - RemoteControl - Disconnected st :	at System.Environment.GetStackTrace(Exception e, Boolean needFileInfo)
  at System.Environment.get_StackTrace()
  at TvControl.RemoteControl.InvokeEvents()
  at TvControl.RemoteControl.RefreshRemotingConnectionStatus()
  at TvControl.RemoteControl.get_Instance()
  at TvPlugin.TVHome.HeartBeatTransmitter()
  at System.Threading.ThreadHelper.ThreadStart_Context(Object state)
  at System.Threading.ExecutionContext.Run(ExecutionContext executionContext, ContextCallback callback, Object state)
  at System.Threading.ThreadHelper.ThreadStart()
[2013-07-01 13:11:42,845] [Log	] [TvClient-TvHome: HeartBeat transmitter thread] [INFO ] - RemoteControl - Disconnected

....messages every 8 seconds.

The [DEBUG] exception message doesn't really add much information (compared to the [INFO] message), so maybe we could change the [INFO] message into a [DEBUG] level message, and remove the exception message completely - what do you think ?
