MPstandbyHandler (3 Viewers)

[josch.hh]

That is easy,
MP was not running during standby. MPstandbyhandler remembers on wakup if MP did run during suspend. Only if MP was running it will be started/restarted.

I did this for a good reason. I didn't what this application to be a autostart tool for MP.
Otherwise MP/TVS would always be started after you put your pc into standby.

This is what I needed! Sometimes, I don't know why, mediaportal wasn't closed correctly. I even once had 3 instances running of mediaportal while that should'nt be possible. This program seems to do the job just fine. The restarting of the TVservice was one thing I hoped for in a future release of mediaportal; but now it is here! Thanx!

hi
I just tried your app, but everytime I resume from standby/hibernate I get the MP Log tool, that tells me MP has been shutdown and caused an error.
Neverltheless MP is restarting as configured, though.


Here are the logs :

Turn off watchdog in config, otherwise you will get this happening.

Good morning,

I have installed Tourettes new powerscheduler.dll in TV-Service and I tried with 15 seconds before the restart of TV-service and got:

2008-09-04 06:26:56.656250 [1]: Exception ystem.Runtime.Remoting.RemotingException: Remoting configuration failed with the exception 'System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ---> System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port) is normally permitted
at System.Net.Sockets.Socket.DoBind(EndPoint endPointSnapshot, SocketAddress socketAddress)

TV-Service logs attached.

Is this still happening with the latest SVN?

Is this still happening with the latest SVN?

Yes soo it seems. I actually decided to use the sunday to install Vista on my HTPC in hope this would solve it but it seems not. So MP could not establish contact with the tv-server.

I got the following (in swedish an am said to say).

2008-09-12 07:31:26.169800 [Info.][MPMain]: Unable to start plugin:MediaPortal.Plugins.Process.PowerSchedulerClientPlugin exceptionystem.Net.WebException: Det går inte att ansluta till fjärrservern ---> System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: Det gick inte att göra en anslutning eftersom måldatorn aktivt nekade det 127.0.0.1:31457

Thanx for any help, and let me know if I can do some more testing.

Actually thats a completely different error. Client is not able to connect at all as the port is closed. Sounds like a firewall issue.

Hi I get the following error when testing resume. Somthing to do with UAC on vista??

17/09/2008 10:55:51 :: Info :: Service Stop - Trying to stop (10s): TVService

Yes, turn off the UAC and it should work.

... the other possibility is, that i modify MPstandbyHandler to be system service with admin rights.
but i am not sure if this makes sence or if someone here like to see this application to be a service.

I want to use your tool, it looks quite good for me.

One thing I'm currently missing (also in my batch files...):
I also use devcon to restart my 2 tt cards. Sometimes I get "At least one device requires reboot" message, this card won't work in TVService.

Question 1:
Would it be possible to watch the STDOUT of the called application for a keyword (i.e. "requires reboot") and cause the system to reboot?

Question 2:
The order of execution of the commands is not exactly what I would need:
a) end the tvservice
- stop tvservice (per net stop)
- send WM_CLOSE to tvservice (works sometimes when "kill" would hang...)
- kill tvservice (last try ;-)
b)
- devcon restart tv cards
c)
- start tvservice

you see, step b) would be between stop and start, not the first action. Can this be configured by a parameter?


Thank you
