MPstandbyHandler (1 Viewer)

Hi,

First of all… for this tool… Good Job!!!!. But will it work with Vista 64?. I installed the tool like you discribe (Beta02). There is a problem with configuring my Technotrend S2-3200. I like to use the option restaring my DVB-S2 card on resume. I can not select my DVB-S card in the MpstandbyHandlerGui / HardwareDeviceRestart, because the box for the hardware is total empty. I’m running another system with Vista 32 and there is a list of all hardware divices. Is there another way to select my tv card??

Currently not, i don't know what is different from Vista 32 to 64. I have no chance to test it, because i don't own a 64bit Vista.

But you can find out on your own if you want. As soon as Mpsh2 is ready i will post the sources. The function you like to use on Vista 64 is based on system lib calls via .net interop. Maybe the handleing is differnt on Vista 64.

Maybe a stupid question but I’m not a programmer..
Could it be that handling to select the Tv card in HardwareDeviceRestart only looks in the directory’s c:\Programfiles?. In Vista 64 Bits ther are two maps for the programfiles. C:\Programfiles an C:\ProgramfilesX86. Programs are normaly installed in the directory C:\ProgramfilesX86.

Try compiling the binaries target system as x86.

First, thanks for this. It seems like what I need.

My Problem......

When I try to test the Suspend function there is an access denied message, see picture.

I am using Beta06, Vista32 with UAC and ForThe Record.

Thanks.

That is right. If you like to test this function you have to run the Gui in Admin mode, or disable UAC.
The service which executes this job runs with localSystem rights, means the service will have the rights to do it.. only the gui needs admin rights for testing on Vista with UAC.

Brrrrr, of course not. This function really enumerates the local devices with the builtin system functions.

Try compiling the binaries target system as x86.

Can you tell me were to find this setting within VS Express 2005?

Thanks for that....

My next problem is that the TvService is not being restarted on resume - see log.
For information, if I try stopping the TvS from the management console the service stays on 'stopping' indefinitely. I don't know why.

I can't see why the service having been killed should stop it being restarted.
See log below.

Edit...
I see in this log the TvS stopped OK. Does not normally !! Anyway the service is not restarted. It starts ok from the gui.

Let, me find out. Can't be nothing serious. Maybe only a little bug.


Edit:
Found the bug. Sorry it was a stupid one
Will post Beta07 soon.

I just tried beta6 and it worked perfectly for me including stop/restart of MP. My last item on the wishlist is simply a cosmetic and perhaps unneeded feature that I miss from the previous version, the Splash screen.

When the wife starts the HTPC she wants to see that something is happening, the splashscreen was perfect in that aspect. There might be a better soloution that I don't know about.

Anyhow, many thancks Josch for a excellent work.

@ J-B-N
You are right, i am missing it too.
Unfornunatly this will be not as easy as in the first version. I will see what i can do.




@All
I need your help!

I found out that the MPSH2 windows service gets the information that the system has resumed from standby very late on my machine.

How about yours?

Can someone check the logs and take a look at the time (exact time with seconds) when you awake your system.
I am interested in the timespan from awakening until the MPSH2 windows service start to do something...

 

[josch.hh]

Come on guys,

no one here to check this for me?
