MCE Service Start and Stop Plugin (1 Viewer)

[jadz]

This plugin will stop the MCE services when MediaPortal starts and it will start them back up when it exits. Perfect for those out there that are running MCE.

The plugin can be downloaded here.

Copy the plugin .dll file to your plugins/process folder then enable the plugin from Configuration.exe

Services will stop when MediaPortal starts, and they will resume when it exits.

				myService = new ServiceController("Media Center Receiver Service");
				myService.Stop();    // Can also Pause() or Start()
				myService = new ServiceController("Media Center Scheduler Service");
				myService.Stop();    // Can also Pause() or Start()

Hi there,

What is the benefit of doing this? Will it make MP faster?

Thanks.

I can't tune TV without stopping the services as Microsoft Media Center wants to have control of the tuner card so it can record shows.

The plugin should no longer be necessary. It's properly implemented into Media Portal now. (CVS and 0.1.3.0)

SydneyHTPC,

... No (see announcement on http://mediaportal.sourceforge.net), but you can grab a pre 0.1.3.0 (CVS release) @ http://www.myshare.de/component/option,com_wrapper/Itemid,37/

I hope this will help you,
