MPstandbyHandler (2 Viewers)

[User 04]

Seems that there are some other problems on your machine. TVS can't be killed ?!?
This an error i never had on my machine. Can you set a delay of 60s before restarting the dvb cards...
Plz, test it...

I must admit that I did not look at the log, looked at other indicators in regard to the Tuner Cards.

Tried the 60s delay, as before, still does not work.

When I set Kill Immediately to False stops TVS successfully, set to True, does not.

The Problems - MPstandbyHandlerService not started.Error 1053: Service has not answered the request in good time.

Just to report back on my previous post in this thread; I have now left the TVService out of the Suspend-tab, and put a "kill TVService", followed by a "start TVService" on the resume-tab and that works very well. So thanks for that tip Josch, I somehow overlooked that you can also stop the service on the resume tab.

Always Start MP on Resume Option?

Is there any way to make MP always start on resume? I've got the power button on my remote set to exit MP (closes to a black desktop with no icons or task bar), then the TV Server powerscheduler suspends after X minutes (2 or 3 I think).

This works fine for standby but on resume MPStandbyHandler won't restart MP because it wasn't running on Suspend.

I've had a look through the code from SVN and it looks like it may be a simple change to add a new Property to 'JobMediaportalStart.cs' called AlwaysStart, create a new string constant to represent the property and then update the 'SetDescriptions' and 'PrepareSepcialJobProperties' methods to implement the new value.

Once that has been done, an extra check in the 'Run' method as part of the first if would be needed to pass when AlwaysStart = true;

if (!test && !Flags.MediaportalRunning && !AlwaysStart)


I haven't had a chance to see if this all that is required to include the functionality, but if that's the lot then I can upload the changes once I've tried it out.

Cheers,

PJ

Thanks for this plugin, can I make a request?
I would like to continue to use PVR Scheduler, would it be possible for you to create 2 executables.

1 to simply shutdown the tvserver, the other to shutdown and restart the tvserver.
I could then point PVRscheduler to these executables and the two programs would help each other out.

Having a really hard time getting a reliable standby/wakeup procedure.

Use following .bat files (and with extra you could use pskill to kill hung service).

"net start tvservice"

"net stop tvservice"

Would be easier to add a property. Will do it.

Thanks Josch, here's a copy of the changes I made to the JobMediaPortal.cs if it helps.

I see you could wait for me to do it.
So new version is out now.

hi,

I have just noticed a "bug":

The MPStandbyService did not start up correctly. The problem was caused by my eventlog!
The service has thrown an exception that eventlog is full and didn't continue.

Could you try {} catch {} this? It's a quite useless exception

thanks
