Patch: Change Music AudioDevice inside MP, but xmlwriter saves changes only sometimes (1 Viewer)

[FreakyJ]

Hello everybody,

I've created a small patch for the MP configuration section to change the Music Audiodevice inside MP.
But my Problem is that the MP xmlwriter only sometimes saves the changes Has anybody an idea what's the problem? I can't find it...

2011-08-07 16:29:30.734624 [Info.][MPMain(1)]: CONFIG: SelectedLabel: 0
2011-08-07 16:29:30.735624 [Info.][MPMain(1)]: CONFIG: Device: Default Sound Device
2011-08-07 16:29:57.104132 [Info.][MPMain(1)]: CONFIG: SelectedLabel: 2
2011-08-07 16:29:57.104132 [Info.][MPMain(1)]: CONFIG: Device: Realtek Digital Output (Realtek High Definition Audio)

this is my log output, but nothing changed in the mediaportal.xml (I checked it after every change)

Note:
the Skinfile is for dedaultWide skin, the patch is based on latest SVN 28114

Edit:
it looks like MP saves the changes only after closing MP...

If somebody is interested in the solution:
It seems like MP saves the changes to the mediaportal.xml only if it gets shutdown, but if you use getValue MP gives you the right value, so I guess that MP saves the changes temporary somewhere and just saves all changes to the xml file when it gets shutdown

Yes sorry I meant to reply. Mediaportal.xml gets cached so some settings are not written to the file straight away. Can't remember when it gets flushed but certainly it does when MP closes

Hi to all,

has this issue been resolved by now? I believe that I am facing the same problem:
When changing the default sound device with AutoHotKey in Videos (or Moving Pictures) the default audio device changes without any problem to the new one (as long as I stop and restart the movie) and audio is going to the new device. If I try the same thing in Music then the default audio device is changed to the new one I selected (as far as windows is concerned) but the audio is still going to the old audio device.

I was told that a bug report had been issued about 2 years ago and that a fix was going to come in new releases (but it has not yet).

Thanks for your help
