Re: HTPCInfo plugin for MediaPortal v0.9.1

Hi 1stdead,
thx for the hint.
However, I want here to question whether in fact the last version was used. In version 0.9.1 are several performance improvements included. For example, a user has the chance to turn off all background activities of HTPCInfo when watching TV or videos are played. This was also confirmed by several users, that the performance of this release in relation to dropped frames significantly increased.

Cheers, Micropolis ;-)

When i confirmed this an old version was used. I'll try the new version and see if anythings changed :) (at some point later..)

    Re: HTPCInfo plugin for MediaPortal v0.9.1

    I still have the problem that the cpu usage will not be displayed :confused:

    My Version is: 0.9.1
    OS: Win 7
    wmiApSrv is running
    Log:
    Code:
    HTPC Info: System Performance Counter Initialization Error. (Error Code: System.FormatException: Die Eingabezeichenfolge hat das falsche Format.
       bei System.Number.StringToNumber(String str, NumberStyles options, NumberBuffer& number, NumberFormatInfo info, Boolean parseDecimal)
       bei System.Number.ParseInt32(String s, NumberStyles style, NumberFormatInfo info)
       bei System.Int32.Parse(String s, IFormatProvider provider)
       bei System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounterLib.GetStringTable(Boolean isHelp)
       bei System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounterLib.get_NameTable()
       bei System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounterLib.get_CategoryTable()
       bei System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounterLib.CounterExists(String category, String counter, Boolean& categoryExists)
       bei System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounterLib.CounterExists(String machine, String category, String counter)
       bei System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounter.Initialize()
       bei System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounter..ctor(String categoryName, String counterName, String instanceName, Boolean readOnly)
       bei System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounter..ctor(String categoryName, String counterName)
       bei HTPCInfoPlugin.HTPCInfo.InitPerformanceCounters(), Die Eingabezeichenfolge hat das falsche Format.)

    I've tested all the suggestions in this tread :(

    Hi driver140771,
    the error message "System Performance Counter Initialization Error" occurs, when the performance counter for "System Uptime" cannot be initialized. In your post I've read, that "CPU Usage" cannot be displayed, so I'm a little bit confused.
    To find a solution for this, please open the performance monitor application which comes with Windows7 and open the "Add Counter" dialog (see screenshot) and tell me, what you can see if you select "Processor/% Processor Time". Please check also selectable options for "System/System Up Time".
    Last but not least it was interesting to know your system specification, the best way is to publish this using the user control panel of this forum.

    Cheers, Micropolis ;-)

    Re: HTPCInfo plugin for MediaPortal v0.9.1

    Hi 1stdead,
    sorry, but I cannot reproduce your problem here.
    All languages files for HTPCInfo are located in the directory "c:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\Language\HTPCInfo" including the latest danish translation. I've switched the language in the MediaPortal configuration tool also and all works fine. Could you please compare the attached language files with your installation? Thx.

    Cheers, Micropolis ;-)
