PowerScheduler++ test versions (2 Viewers)

Hi michael,

Thanks for the debugging version. The install script does not work for me (Zugriff verweigert) I copied the files manually but PS++ does not show up in TVServer Plugins anymore.

Anyway I tried the regular Version 1.2.6.0 and still have the same error with Network Monitor not starting:

2012-02-13 15:48:02.395320 [TVService(6)]: TvService OnStart failed : System.Threading.ThreadAbortException: Der Thread wurde abgebrochen.

I browsed through the svn sources but had no luck in finding anything that could cause this

My System is pretty much the same as your testsystem: Windows 7 Ultimate x64 with wired Gbit network.

New beta version 1.2.6.0 for MP 1.2.x / 1.3

Thank you for re-adding "Only allow standby when on home window"! After initial testing it seems to work just as fine as it used to. The unmute after away feature also seems to be fine even though I haven't tested it very hard. I've had a few times when the sound device has been completely lost though, but I haven't yet spotted a pattern.

...Anyway I tried the regular Version 1.2.6.0 and still have the same error with Network Monitor not starting:...

The error is very strange because it is an exception that is not even defined for the "PerformanceCounterCategory.GetInstanceNames" method. I have no idea why this method call crashes on your system and not on others... Maybe you should reinstall your .NET or even Windows?

I am sorry that I cannot help you.

You could fix the special debugging version. The error is a general one, maybe from a StringToNumber call.
Please dont give up on this.

Well, I cannot do anything with this , even if I want. First, it is a code that I took from the original Powerscheduler without changes and which is used by thousands of users without problems (including me). Second, even if I would rewrite the NetworkMonitor code I would end up with a call to PerformanceCounterCategory.GetInstanceNames which causes the error (the buggy StringToNumber call is part of the internal code of the PerformanceCounterCategory.GetInstanceNames in the .NET library).

Hmm, seems my idea of modifying restart.vbs to stop and restart the TVservice has a fatal flaw that I overlooked, in that it only runs if MP is running when the PC goes into standby. As I often close MP to play a game before going to bed, when I restart the PC in the morning and start MP, the TV service is not working because it hasn't been stopped/restarted and I have to do this manually (by running a batch file). So if there's any way you could get PowerScheduler++ to do this instead, it would be much better.

I've just tried again with a batch file triggered by PS++ and it seems to be working, although I'll have to keep testing to see if it works consistently. The batch file I'm using (named resume.bat) is

if "%1" == "suspend" goto OnSuspend
if "%1" == "wakeup" goto OnWakeUp
goto Done
 
:OnSuspend
taskkill /IM “MediaPortal.exe” /F
goto Done
 
:OnWakeUp
taskkill /IM “TVService.exe” /F
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\MediaPortal.exe"
goto Done
 
:Done

Note the WakeUp routine doesn't restart TVService as MP does that when it starts. I found it was hanging with net stop TVService, which is why I'm using taskkill.

The tv.log from this shows

hi there!

i am using the actual stable version of PS++ with an A4-3400 APU on a Gigabyte A55-DS3P Board and W7 x64 HomePremium running. I configured PS with the Configration Tutorial on the Wiki Page. The only thing i left beside the regular configuration is that i allow the system to hibernate. After i made the setup within the server plugin i forced the system to hibernate and now i cannot start the system anymore. any suggestions? thx for your help!!!

 

[michael_t]

What do you mean by "i cannot start the system anymore"?

Had a problem with my previous script that I was getting two instances of Mediaportal.exe and neither was displaying, so I've modifed it so that it doesn't start MP and I'll try using MP config to "restart MP on resume" instead.

if "%1" == "suspend" goto OnSuspend
if "%1" == "wakeup" goto OnWakeUp
goto Done

:OnSuspend
taskkill /IM “MediaPortal.exe” /F
goto Done

:OnWakeUp
taskkill /IM “TVService.exe” /F
net start TVService

goto Done

:Done
