Hello

since R3 my iMon Display stays on, when going to standby. Maybe someone can confirm this. My Logs tell me IMon is closing:

Logs are attached.

And if allowed - another question. After resume I am not able to control Volume. What should be the correct setting in MP Configuration. Direct Sound Device or Wave? It worked only in Rc1.

thx in advance

AW: Minidisplay (IMon) stays on when going Standby

Hello,

I had the same problem starting with RC3 and continuing in RC4, but it seems as if I have solved this on my system by now.

In order to restart MP (the internal restart procedure didn't work for me until RC4, now everthing's fine) I used MPStandbyHandler. During every second standby the display was not closed although the logs stated that the display was (got the same log messages as above).

Three days ago I disabled MPStandbyHandler and re-enabled the built-in MP restart method and from that moment on the display is closed during every standby. No further problems so far but I will have a look and report back with log-files if the problem re-occurs.

Best regards
Nils

Hi,

I have the same problem as you. Up until RC2 it was fine, but when I upgraded to RC3 (and later to RC4) the problem started.
Usually I manually bring my system in hibernate via the home menu, but then my Imon display stays on.
However, when I do nothing and let MP bring itself into hibernation (which is on a 10 minute timer) it goes dark.

I don't use MPStandbyHandler so that's not the problem.

Let's hope someone can take a look at this because it's a bit annoying.

+1 here

the difference is that I gave up iMon for months.... it is simply a bad product (at least my LCD version). Thanx for listening and sharing ;-)

Unfortunately the logs provided do contain information for the issue because MediaPortal was restarted.

To collect proper logs, enable extensive logging in both server and client PowerScheduler plugin. Then:

• if the issue is easily reproducible, start MediaPortal in debug mode and select the 1st option. Let the system go to sleep or put it to sleep. Wake up the system and after it is up again exit MediaPortal to collect logs
• if the issue only happens sparingly, try to reproduce the issue. After the issue has been reproduced, exit MediaPortal and start MediaPortal Debug Mode. Select the 3rd option to collect existing logs

Hello,

thx - this Log was generated by starting MP, watching TV, Movies, ... -> Sleep HTPC (Display Stays on)-> Wake HTPC.

Very interessting Log it is:

It seems Minidisplay shutdown after wakeup and not before going to sleep.

AND - I have to ask again. What would be the correct setting for Audio/Volume Renderer/Mixer. After wakeup I can't control Volume Level. I have tried it with another application (very simple C# Mixer Control) and it worked.

Unfortunately it's not only related to one single component:

2010-06-12 10:06:19.604600 [Debug][GenericPCQueue(11)]: MPControlPlugin: Received Message "ServerSuspend"
2010-06-12 10:28:29.501000 [Info.][MPMain(1)]: SQLiteClient: Closing database: FanartHandler.db3

here you see the issue with FanartHandler...

Hello,

:sorry:
I think I got the problem. After reading the sources and trying to understand how MP is handling suspend, I checked my config again. I disabled the internal Windows "Power Button" option inside power configuration.

Now it looks better:

After thinking about what changed from RC2 to RC3, I remember I switched from MST to PowerScheduler.

I tested it now 4 times - and it works. I will post a new status on friday.

But - my Volume Problem is still present

after one week away from my HTPC I have to report the same issue.
