Slow MP startup (1 Viewer)

[Zinu]

Hello,

I am experiencing slow startup times with Mediaportal, especially on the 'Initializing input devices' part. What could be causing this?

System specs can be found under
<------ My system

If any more info is required, feel free to ask. Logs are included

Thanks in advance,
Zinu.

Hi Zinu

MediaPortal\MediaPortal\Plugins\windows\MovingPictures.dll
2009-02-19 01:18:57.000000 [Info.][MPMain]: File Version : 0.7.1.513

Maybe related to this thread. You can temporarily disable Moving Pictures to confirm.

Hope that helps

It looks like the problem in that thread is more about loading the plugins, not the input devices.
Thanks though

Anyone?

Again, anyone?

Try disabling all plugins and enable one by one to see if it one of those playing up

input devices, that could be the imon slowing things down, do a search, there may be specific drivers to use.

Hello,

I have the same problem but no solution at this moment. I use Vista32 with MP1.0.1. For me, Only the first startup is very slow. Have you any ideas ??

Hi,
I don't know if my problem is related, but I have a similar problem on 2 different machines, especially "inizializing texture manager" is causing delays on the first start of about 5 minutes.

cheers

Check the main Media Portal log file and the timestamps on the left side. Look for large gaps in time. On mine for instance, there was a 2 minute gap while it was doing something with textures or cache files or something. But that was only the one time after updating from 1.0.0 to 1.0.1.

Large gaps will indicate that the previous timestamp was doing something for a long time. Post here what that is/those are.
