This is not a Mediaportal issue, but it's an issue I get when I use Mediaportal, so maybe someone has something to suggest.

I use Tv Server.

When Powerscheduler (server/client version) try to Hibernate the PC, I get the message "Insufficient System Resources Exist to Complete the API". After that, the hibernate button disappear from shutdown menu. Symptoms are the same as MS KB 909095, but I already have installed the patch. So, I do not know what to do.

As the problem arise only when mediaportal is running, is there a script I can use to make powerscheduler server kill mediaportal before hibernation and re-run when system resume?

Thank you!

This would also happen without MP..
Did you try with only 1 Gig of RAM?

This does not happen without MP. And does not happen if MP has just started. The hibernation is blocked only if MP had a normal usage (a little bit of music, some tv). I think it is linked on the amount of RAM used by the application.

Cross-test:
Normal use of MP -> Hibernation -> "Insufficient System Resources Exist to Complete the API"
Normal use of MP -> Quit MP -> Hibernation -> OK

I know it's a system error, it's not MP to blame. Anyhow I'm looking for a workaround. So is it possible that tvservice kills MP and re-run at resume? There's a command line option, but it's the same for hibernation and resume and I need 2 different...

p.s. I did not try with only 1 gig. Should I?
p.s. In a MS newsgroup they just told me to unenable Hibernation, restart, defragment, restart, re-enable hibernation. I'll try this evening. With little faith.

Hi,
Did you install this hotfix if not do that & test again.

It sounds strange but this M$ bug does only occur with 2 GB ...

Once you triggered it it doesn't matter if you close the application before trying again - you'll get the same error.

I had this on one machine without MP but e.g. Visual Studio or Firefox betas as well - after I removed one GB from that rig for another computer the error was gone.

I have the same MB as you, with 2GB of Ram, and the same error. Seems like it could be related. I just installed the fix from KB909095 cause I didn´t know such a fix existed, maybe it will help on my system, but can't test it until I get home from work.

I have the same problem on a computer with 2 GB of RAM (Motherboard: ASUS M2NPV-VM). I didn't know anything about the KB909095 fix either, will try that too

Added this to xp\vista known issues post.

Thanks

This is true, after the first time I have to restart the system to have hibarnation avaiable again. But if I do not get the error I can Hibernate many times.
What I tried is:

1. Run Mediaportal normally
2. Close mediaportal
3. Manually put in hibernation (and that's work)
4. Let TV powerscheduler resume the pc
5. Manually restart MP
[repeat from 2 ad libitum]

If it would be possible to automate point 2 and 5 (through tv service) I think everything would work smoothly. I tried to make a bat file and put it in /run before wakeup/ in setuptv but it did not work.

MS says that the problem is related to high memory usage, and the only program I use is MP. If MP frees RAM before hibernation the problem should go away.

Ram should never go over 200Mb with MP running TV or anything else, so with 2Gb installed that's not a issue.

Have you got mssql memory usage capped, as per here TV-Engine 0.3/config-SQL-Server - MediaPortal Wiki Documentation

I would just install the M$ fix, and if it continues worry about posting back here, but please say what you have done to rectify your problem.
