MPstandbyHandler (1 Viewer)

Now it seems to work on shutting down.

But now another problem arose.
After several successful attempts to suspend (kill MP and TVServer) and resume (restart DVB driver, start TVServer and MP) the app fails to kill TVServer and start MP:

Can you kill TVS with taskmanager in this case?
I would say no. I this case Mpsh i also unable to kill it.

Hmm, I can.
I opened msconfig and found in autostart section two cases of Mpsh.
One in the folder where I have all *.exe
The second (the upper folder) where I've never kept files.
Is that right?

I mean, can you kill it by hand if Mpsh says in its log that MP/TVS can't be killed?
Of course, every app should be able to be killed with the taskmanager ... normaly. But sometimes this wont work. I had that problem many times that MP or TVS can be killed by hand via taskmanager. The only chance is reboot. That is why i added a property to the MP/TVS stop jobs that the system can be rebooted if Mpsh founds out that the processes can't be killed.

There should be only one autostart entry, delete the wrong one.

hope someone can help me

Does the current version (2.0.0.4) work with the new RC4 release?

 

[josch.hh]

It should work with RC4


By the way, i think a should remove the "Startup" and "Shutdown" features. It makes no sence to do this things in Mpsh.
One can also use its own scripts from Autostart. Until now i still have a problem to code the "Startup" right because Windows does not send a "Logon" event which i could catch. It also makes no sence to lanch the startup jobs on system start, because the users logon is not finished or even has not begun. Means i can't start MP or any other user related app or script at this point during the system comes up.

Any comments?

I have one.
I suffer from a problem with tuning on the first channel after resuming/starting up.
It almost always doesn't work (tuner is not locked).
So I have to switch to any other channel and come back.
I can't do it when a program is recorded by a scheduler.

The only way to solve the problem is to check an option in TVServer console to make a graph automatically, which needs some more time.
That's why I should put a delay in MP console, because without it MP starts before the whole procedure finnishes in TVServer, although it "waits for TVServer to start".
I did that, but the maximum delay of 100 secs is not enough and I had MP with a blank "On now" window.
If I close MP and restart, problem is solved.

Your app makes it possible to increase the time
So if you wish to remove these sections, it's OK.
I'll come back to nnCron and put a delay more than 100 secs.

Anyway, as far as I understood, when starting up Mpsh should fetch the time of TVServer starting "really".
Now MP starts at the same time, when TVService.exe appears in Task Manager.
That's not right, because TVServer has't started yet (at least in my case).

I think, there're some other things, that point out that TVServer has really started.
I'll try to find it out.

Of course, a user can merely put a delay in any other application (in my case more that 100 secs), which is not quite correct.

Questions.

I don't use TV Server.
Which version of MPstandbyHandler i must to use?
"MPstandbyHandler 1" or "MPstandbyHandler 2"?

For me is important this:
on resume from standby (to record TV program, for example) the plugin must close and restart Mediaportal (like PVR-Scheduler do).

Thanks for your help ?

You can use both. The difference is the architecture of the app. Version 1 is simply a userspace executable whereas version 2 is a modular app consiting of a service, a userspace executable and a config program.

I would go with version 2 as I'm not sure version 1 is undergone any develpment in the future.

HTH.
