ebr 16169 Posted July 3, 2014 Author Posted July 3, 2014 Any chance of investigating why the New Player Interface blocks the WMC screensaver from kicking in? When? It blocks it on purpose during playback.

Sharmy 9 Posted July 4, 2014 Posted July 4, 2014 When? It blocks it on purpose during playback. Sorry - should have been clearer. Screensaver is blocked during playback when paused.
ebr 16169 Posted July 4, 2014 Author Posted July 4, 2014 Sorry - should have been clearer. Screensaver is blocked during playback when paused. That is by design. If you are playing something, we don't want the screen saver to kick in. Why are you pausing something for so long? Why not just stop it?

Why not just stop it? Yes - stopping makes sense. But then there is the Wife factor... (And, like you, we are a plasma household. Our older Pioneer display does not like still images. The newer Pioneer display is not as sensitive.) The native WMC player treats paused as idle. Can this not be replicated in the New Player interface? Edited July 3, 2014 by Sharmy

Deihmos 169 Posted July 5, 2014 Posted July 5, 2014 (edited) Working fine here and it sounds like a Media Center issue to me. Try sfc /scannow in command prompt. Edited July 5, 2014 by Deihmos
Yogi 367 Posted July 5, 2014 Posted July 5, 2014 Did that and passed with flying colours,this only started when I installed 190. Uninstalled that version and back to beta and all fine.
Deihmos 169 Posted July 5, 2014 Posted July 5, 2014 (edited) Wake on lan no longer works. I switched to the release and it still didn't work. I checked the configuration and it had the incorrect Mac ID. I changed it to the correct ID and it worked but then it changed again. It was working fine for a long time. Edit. Figured out the problem. MBC is reading the mac from my Bluetooth adapter and not the network adapter. The Bluetooth has no connections. Edited July 5, 2014 by Deihmos

We have no idea which one is actually in use.

The event error is meaningless - is there another one around the same time? Could be marked informational. You are using Square and it looks like it is trying to count up all media inside of all installed channels and that could be a performance issue but shouldn't cause a crash.
Deihmos 169 Posted July 5, 2014 Posted July 5, 2014 (edited) I went ahead and disabled it since I don't use Bluetooth network. I just added it not too long ago. Everything is back to working fine. Edited July 5, 2014 by Deihmos

Could be marked informational. You are using Square and it looks like it is trying to count up all media inside of all installed channels and that could be a performance issue but shouldn't cause a crash. I was trying to watch a few trailers at the time and then the crash.Found a new log which is attached. wmc1.txt
ebr 16169 Posted July 6, 2014 Author Posted July 6, 2014 Unfortunately, that error doesn't help either. Looks like something deep inside WMC is crashing. Is it only on trailers? Have you tried any real local content? What about with other themes?
Yogi 367 Posted July 6, 2014 Posted July 6, 2014 ok it seems to be happening only when Square is the selected theme. Only happening on trailers,local content is playing fine. New logs attahced,probably doesn't help though. wmc2.txt MBClassic-6720141f543953a5b2439e8c5144a6ac108464.log
ebr 16169 Posted July 6, 2014 Author Posted July 6, 2014 Look at all the events in the event log around that time - even informational ones. Do any of them list an Exception type?
Yogi 367 Posted July 7, 2014 Posted July 7, 2014 Nope there is no log with an exception type but the error code in the wmc log (e053534f) from what I have read points to a soft stack oveflow in .net with uncontrolled recursion. Don't know if any of that helps you as I don't know what any of that means as I have no idea of coding at all. Cheers Yogi
ebr 16169 Posted July 7, 2014 Author Posted July 7, 2014 Yeah, seeing what square was trying to do with the channels made me think it might be something like that. I've done something in the core to try and arrest what square is trying to do with the channels. We'll see if you still have this problem with the next dev release.
