[confirm] GUI froozen after resume from hibernate (1 Viewer)

[alexirion]

The last times, the MediaPortal GUI was completely frozen after resuming from hibernate.
The GUI showed an old frame with the time, when the system was hibernating.
The task manager showed MediaPortal still as responsive, but there is no reaction on any keypresses.
Please find attached logs:
The system resumed from hibernate at 2012-07-16 23:03.
After not responding to any keys, I killed MediaPortal from the task manager and stored the logs.
After starting MediaPortal again, everything works as expected.

Hi, can someone please help out with this issue? It is 100% reproducible on my system and I could do further logs, if required.

Hi,

There is an error in the logs coming from "World Weather" plugin or something, I would suggest to disable all 3rd party plugins for troubleshooting.

In MP Configuration try tweaking some of these settings, especially "Apply workaround to fix MediaPortal...":

Thank you seco.
Yesterday, I already deactivated the World Weather and Moving Pictures plugin, and was also trying the "Apply workaround to fix MediaPortal" option, but this all didn't help.
I will continue trying in the evening. I think only remaining plugin is IRSS - I will deactivate all plugins.
I wonder why there are no serious error messages in the logs. MePo seems still running, but is just not redrawing anything. I never had such a problem with all the versions before.

Is it possible to navigate with a keyboard/mouse or is it really frozen?
Thanks!

It is totally frozen, no visible reaction on keyboard, mouse, no screen update. The screen content shows the time/date, when the system hibernated - so it is an old content.
But task manager does NOT show the process as "not responding". Usually, when I had a hang up with earlier versions in the past, the task manager always showed MediaPortal as not responding.

I deactivated all 3rd party plugins and it happened again at the third resume from hibernate. See new logs. There is an error with the mixer. Is this serious?

I can only say that it doesn't look too good. As long as you have errors in the logs anything can go wrong in the wake up. Do you have some kind of "exotic" volume settings or something (other than defaults)?

Also you have very bad looking errors in your TV-Server logs.

Where can the volume settings be done in MediaPortal? I use the AMD HDMI audio device. Nothing special, and everything works, when I freshly start MediaPortal - so the config can not be that wrong. I don't need volume control within the application, since I use a av receiver.

Only exotic point: I use a shell replacement for explorer.exe - but I did that also with earlier versions of MediaPortal.[DOUBLEPOST=1342714802][/DOUBLEPOST]Should I totally clean up everything and install MediaPortal new??
