HTPCInfo plugin v1.15.0 for MediaPortal 1.3.0 and higher (1 Viewer)

[Micropolis]

Hello @Saranity,

... installed new HTPCInfo but I find MP hangs on startup only when my WiFi is off ie no network ...

To find the issue, please disable the following settings of HTPCInfo together and/or step by step in the configuration dialog (if necessary):

• Monitor xAP sensors
• Monitor TV Server
• Monitor TV Client
• Monitor shared network drives
• Monitor files
• Check for available updates

Do you see any differences now? In case of "No", please post your Mediaportal logs incl. your MediaPortal.xml file here.

Cheers, Micropolis

Thanks Micropolis,

The disabling of settings did not change the behavior. Attached are log files.

Hi @Saranity,

The disabling of settings did not change the behavior. Attached are log files.

thank you for posting the needed log files.
After taking a look into mediaportal-error.log, I'm able to see a lot of system and plugin related issues.

First, your MediaPortal TVPlugin version differs from the MediaPortal TVServer version. You can see the appropriate log info below, the only way to solve this is to reinstall MediaPortal and MediaPortal TVServer using the same version/build.

[2014-05-25 10:40:44,119] [Error ] [TvClient-TvHome: HeartBeat transmitter thread] [ERROR] - TvPlugin and TvServer don't have the same version.
TvServer Version: 1.7.1.0
TvPlugin Version: 1.5.0.0

Second, the IMDb plugin, which is running on your HTPC, throws a lot of exceptions and cause MediaPortal to stop completely. Remedied by just turning off or deinstalling the plugin.

[2014-05-27 16:30:14,045] [Error ] [MPMain ] [ERROR] - MediaPortal stopped due to an exception Object reference not set to an instance of an object. IMDb+ at IMDb.PluginSettings.SaveSettings()

at MediaPortalApp.OnExit()

Regarding HTPCInfo, most of your performance counters cannot be initialized for monitoring purposes, but this should not crash your HTPC. To solve this issue, please execute the command "lodctr /r" from an elevated command prompt and/or try to start MediaPortal with administrative rights.

Hope this helps, otherwise please disable all plugins (except HTPCInfo), delete your log files and try to reproduce the issue again. Newer log files are very helpful.

Cheers, Micropolis

Micropolis, thank you for your analysis and assistance.

• I'll re-install 1.7.1 hotfix to to resolve version mis-match
  
• Will uninstall IMDb plugin
• Will run the lodctr command

Then will let you know the result-fingers crossed

Hi Micropolis, the TVServerMonitor is preventing my system from going to hibernate. I use Power Scheduler and send the system to hibernate after half an hour. If I close the monitor the system behaves normal. I have turned the standby prevention off. In MP log I see that it checks regularly for inactivity.

Hi Micropolis, I upgraded to MP 1.8 and the problem no longer persists. I was using MP quite seldom the last months and didn't find time to investigate the problem any further. Regards, uxDesign

Dear community,
this plugin has been updated to support the upcoming MediaPortal version 1.9.0. In order to prevent problems and errors with other plugins of my collection, please note the following information:

• due to architectural changes in the core libraries, all plugins must be updated simultaneously
• internal update mechanism has been changed with this version, the old way should work until end of October 2014 only

Cheers, Micropolis

The new VolumeOverlay.xml has the same ID as HTPCInfo.xml

Hello

There are two questions about the plugin:
1. I am adjust the display in VideoFullScreen and VideoOSD information about CPU loading and temperature using the parameters #HTPCInfo.ProcessorUsage and #HTPCInfo.SensorTemperature0 . Everything worked fine. Strangeness began after updating MediaPortal to version 1.9, SpeedFan to 4.5 and HTPCInfo to version 1.11.0. After restarting the computer and open MediaPortal - everything is fine. Parameters #HTPCInfo.ProcessorUsage and #HTPCInfo.SensorTemperature0 no longer displayed If I'm close and then reopen MediaPortal. In VideoFullScreen, VideoOSD and windows of plugin displayed only empty space. Also no longer to display all the dynamically changeable parameters.
2. Second questions - this is an old problem. The gauge shows 0% when the HDD is filled about 100%.

Thanks.

Hello community,
the official version v1.11.2 of HTPCInfo has been published and can be downloaded from the well known places.

... The gauge shows 0% when the HDD is filled about 100% ...

This issue has been fixed, please retest.

... I have the same Problem since 1.9 after Standby: No Data in HTPCInfo ...

Your statement doesn't help me to understand, why it doesn't work on your machine. For me it works without any issues, nevertheless I've added a power mode handler now to support different environment related scenarios. Please test the new version and give constructive feedback inclusive log files.
