http://pastebin.team-mediaportal.com/11322

once again, the actions are :
- MP launch
- 2 or 3 menu moves with the remote
- hibernating
- boot up
- 2 or 3 moves (doubled) with the remote
- shut down of MP

Hello,

i hope this thread is still interessting to others, oterwise sorry.

I just downloaded a copy of MediaPortal yesterday, an first i want to
thank the people who did this wounderful program. Really tried a lot of
different software for htpcs but this ist so far the best i´ve seen.

I also got the problem with the double click 'bug'. And got rid of it after 2 Hours
of searching.

I simply had to remove all instances of "HID-Device" in the Device Manager (in German: Gerätemanager) after a restart every butten acted like it should.

Seems that at the point of installation there has already been an X10 remote, and so the machine captures every click twice.

The other devices were just named HID-Interface and not "X10".

I hope this helps others, if not sorry for spam.

Bye
Spike

PS: Sorry for my bad english, i´am German

Will try too!

EDIT: No, dont work for me. Dont have any HID-Devices in Devicemanager.

 

[singer36]

yes i will try too as soon as possible...
SpikeE, can you try to hibernate your computer and restart it?
just to see if it accurs in this case with your config.

There are two distinct problems .

One is not an MP bug and that is when you have another X10 app running like the ATI RW software tray tool and also X10 enabled in MP.

This causes both apps to recognise the remote inputs and can cause a double click of the remote button response.

Disabling the non MP X10 software cures this.


The second is the BIG MP BUG that occurs coming out of HIBERNATION where the MP software duplicates the X10 remote output and gives you multiple clicks.

EVery time you Hibernate and then return another duplicate occurs.

The only workaround is restarting MP after hibrernation .

Same problem over here (with the lastest svn-builds)

When my pc is resuming from standy or hiberation my x10-remote does everything twice. After (re)booting or restarting mp everything is working perfect.

Remark: i noticed that de x10nets.exe proccess had a new pid after the standy.
When i have more spare time i'll send some extra logging

Thanks

Are any of you guys using the latest svn? If so, I'll add some logging and button pressing logic and get back to you. I don't have svn access, so it could be anywhere from a couple of days to a couple of weeks before someone commits the patch once I write it. There is nothing in the code (that I can see) that would cause this. The actual X10 stuff is relatively simple once you know what is going on. If you are interested in trying this, let me know.

I am very interested and using late svn's...so i am willing to test since this bug is really driving me mad...

Well, I can't seem to reproduce this with my X10 remote. I have a couple of other errors when coming out of hibernation, but this isn't one of them. Since any code I would add to MP would essentially be a hack to avoid this specific scenario, I would prefer to try and get to the root of the problem.

I will add the code if we can't isolate the problem, however lets try and all get on the same page. This will involve all being on the same driver version. If you are interested in helping, please do the following steps.

Uninstall your remote control software. Don't just kill it. Make sure it is gone. Make sure Girder is not running if you have that.

Search your harddrive for x10net.dll (make sure to look in system and hidden folders)
create a text file in that directory (unreg.bat or something) and have the text read

regsvr32 /u x10net.dll

execute the batch file and do this for each x10 dll and then rename it to x10net.dll.old. Go to

http://www.snapstream.net/download/Firefly_Drivers.aspx

and execute the file. You may not get a dialog or confirmation, I can't remember. Search for where this file is located and execute a "regsvr32 x10net.dll" in that directory. You should get a box stating that the operation succeeded. Now, see if you get the double click behavior and report back.
