[MP1-4578] Crashes after standby. (3 Viewers)

[HomeY]

yes you are right, got a Denon X3100W in between the htpc and tv. Should I change the start order or something?

Aah right it was the new 'beast' you have
Leave the start order as is for now, but the receiver could very well be responsible for the wmdaud.drv issue (audio device not present when receiver hasn't 'booted' fully).

I've read multiple times 'Stop playback on removal of an audio renderer' was necessairy to avoid crashes. Why do you think this makes mediaportal crash now, this is quite confussing for me.

In case of a receiver in the 'chain', this could be seen as the Audio Renderer by MP. The startup of the receiver & HTPC could lead to crashes when the Audio Renderer isn't found. I recall unchecking this option helped crashes for another user in the past.

About 'Enable skin sound effects' will disable it but I like the sounds How has this to do with Fontengine?

I know, but for testing you should really try to start with a minimilastic system, and this can be hard if it's your productive system. We need to try to make it stable with core components first (no plugins, default skin, etc.) and when that point is reached, you can start enabling plugins and see what happens. At a point you'll find the plugin or component that makes your system crash, but that could take some time...
Resume crashes are probably the hardest to track because there's also the 'time factor'. You need to leave the system in S3 for a longer period (preferred 1 hour++)

And this has indeed nothing to do with the fontengine crashes. But since i also saw font cache issues in your logs, it might be memory or system related.
Not sure if i asked you this before after 20 pages, but please run the following in command prompt:
sfc /scannow

This will perform a system file check.

Another thing just popped to mind... Receiver + Win 8.1...
Open MP Config >> General >> Volume Settings.
Set this to 'Master Volume' if it isn't yet.

@HTPC_Sourcer can you try V5 too to confirm that new change are ok on your side ?

Hi, Thanks. I'm feeling like there must be something wrong with my windows installation since I changed the bios. I've got to many weird issues, so I'm doing a complete reinstall now Hopefully this will solve the issues.

Thanks for the hints, I will try them incase I still have the same problems

/sfc /scannow didn't report any problem. Master volume was already set.

What is the recommended version to install now? The normal 1.9 version or @Sebastiii version?

I already installed it yesterday evening but forgot to test the wakeup this morning. When I returned this evening the resumed PC was showing the desktop only with a DirextX 3D error in the mediaportal.log.

Note that the HTPC wakes up at ~13.00 for an automated backup.

I'll have a look tomorrow morning...

With V5 I had two subsequent crashes due to DirectX.Direct3D Errors, which crashed the Video Driver. Not much statistics to be done on two incidents but I am considering to go back to V4.

 

[Sebastiii]

Can you post log and also from system / app event ?
This is strange, i didn't why it will crash but maybe the MP windows is not ready and lead to D3D error.
For sure it didn't happen on my side.

Can you simulate by sendmessage tools too ?
Thanks

 

[HTPCSourcer]

It's still on V5. If it crashes again I will post the MePo and system log.

Hi, just to keep you updated. I completely reinstalled mp 1.9 yesterday evening and used the official 1.9 without a patch for now. This morning mediaportal woke up without any issues. Not sure if I still need the patch I will continue testing this weekend.

 

[Sebastiii]

For sure, there is on issue if MP is not focused, now it can be something or tool or service that take focus over MP.

Fyi, I just resumed my htpc and it was stuck at the no internet connection popup from worldweather again. So it seems I really need the fix. I will try V5 on offical build.

Update: I've been running with V5 from @Sebastiii without the worldweather 1.6.2 plugin(I used the default 1.6.1 from extension manager) provided by @Micropolis and got a crash where mediaportal hangs on the no internet screen. So maybe the fix was related to worldweather 1.6.2 instead of the V5 fix. I will test this and report back.
