Issue:

Since about 1 year (I always used latest SVNs) MP & MP Configuration Tool sometimes freeze during start. I found out, that it has to do with the initialization of x10 remote. But since a very long time (more than one and a half years) I don't use my x10, it is not connected anymore to my HTPC and i also uninstalled the x10 drivers (via Control Panel/Software).

EDIT: As you could see in my mediaportal.xml, x10 is not activated (all entries: "no") AND since 1.1.0 RC1 I have a "fresh" mediaportal.xml . so there are no old settings

From configuration.log:

...
2010-03-20 21:04:36.796875 [Info.][Config Main(1)]: LoadSectionSettings() done
2010-03-20 21:04:36.796875 [Info.][Config Main(1)]: LoadSectionSettings() - Remote
2010-03-20 21:06:37.078125 [Info.][Config Main(1)]: x10Remote:Initialized
...

Here you can see a freeze of about 2 minutes.

MP freezes while showing "...Initializing input devices..". From Mediaportal.log:

...
2010-03-20 21:21:16.578125 [Info.][MediaScanner(22)]: SQLiteClient: Closing database: VideoDatabaseV5.db3
2010-03-20 21:22:54.453125 [Info.][MPMain(1)]: Main: Running
2010-03-20 21:22:54.578125 [Info.][MPMain(1)]: Main: Starting up
...

The only way to fix it is doing a reboot. Any ideas what could be the problem? Do I have to remove files/reg entries manually that MP doesn't search for x10 anymore? How does MP decide to initialize x10?


If you want to see my logs, where MP doesn't have this behavior, please take a look at these logs (Girlfriend is watching some crap -> At the moment I can't do a restart to fix the issue an make new logs) : https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/...-installer-issue-mediaportallogs_16_03_10.zip. They are a few days old, other issue.

I hope anybody can help me.

Arne

AW: Freeze while initializing X10 remote - without having x10 plugged or installed

Sorry to ask again, but does anyone have an idea how I can fix that issue? Maybe a dev could give me a hind how MP finds out if there is a X10 or not? I still have this problem several times a week and restarting the server is not always possible

Thanks in advance
