Minidisplay/Imon errors in logs (1 Viewer)

MediaPortal Version: 1.10.0

Description
Hi, I got this errors with 1.9(pre/final) and 1.10 pre(maybe before but I can't remember this). Imon versino 8.12(newest) is installed. I'm running windows 8.1 x64. The imon display i'm using is included in my Thermaltake DH101 case.

The errors I see in the log:

[2014-11-13 15:07:23,898] [Error  ] [MiniDisplayRender] [ERROR] - .IsDisabled: iMON hardware is not connected
[2014-11-13 15:07:26,016] [Error  ] [MiniDisplayRender] [ERROR] - .IsDisabled: iMON hardware is not connected
[2014-11-13 15:07:26,017] [Error  ] [MiniDisplayRender] [ERROR] - MiniDisplayPlugin.DisplayHandler.DisplayLines(): CAUGHT EXCEPTION De objectverwijzing is niet op een exemplaar van een object ingesteld.

System.Object[]


[2014-11-13 15:07:26,021] [Error  ] [MiniDisplayRender] [ERROR] - .IsDisabled: iMON hardware is not connected

The errors are gone after I disable the Minidisplay plugin in Mediaportal. I don't have any crashes or other problems becuase of the errors, just the above lines in my logs sometimes. It doesn't always show up but quite often. I think it's after standby most of the time.

Is there any fix for this or setting I can change? I'm not really sure when the errors occur since it isn't always.

Steps to Reproduce:
No, steps to reproduce since they occur sometimes, from my experience mostly after resume of standby.

So you enabled MiniDisplay but you have no display connected to your PC, right?

@Stéphane Lenclud , in this case logging should probably be [Info] rather than [Error]. What do you think?

 

[killer8]

No, I have an Imon display, it's also connected and working fine but still shows this error.

Aha! I guess that Stéphane will be very interested in taking a view at the log.

 

[Stéphane Lenclud]

Sounds like a temporary issue. It probably takes some time for iMON Manager to get back online. I would leave as error really since that's what it is. I'd need to look at the code to tell you more.

 

[Stéphane Lenclud]

What's your display? LCD or VFD?

 

[killer8]

Lcd(included in my Thermaltake DH101 case), I've also included my minidisplay config as attachments in case it's necessairy

 

[Stéphane Lenclud]

Unless your logs are filling up with that message I would not bother with it just now.

You should set your LCD to only one row. You should also use the AutoScroll feature and set the scrolling speed in iMON Manager.

The logs aren't filled up. Just sometimes it shows up, sometimes just once another time a few times.

Thank you for the advice on the setup, I will give it a try.

Are you sure the

Is also not a problem?

 

[Stéphane Lenclud]

Yeah it's no big deal as long as your display works. I'll try to iron that out at some point, thanks for reporting those issues.
