Hi,

I have the problem that usually on the first start after coming from stand-by or booting, xbmc starts slowly.

Log: http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=275463

In the log in lines 273 and 274 you can see that it takes more than a minute between those two steps.

What is it doing there?

Thanks for your help

Regards
Jochen

Its doing the check for a remote control software, the delay is most likely airplay/zeroconf turned on in settings without the apple bonjour service running?

mmh airplay and zeroconf is disabled in settings

I've looked at the code and it is trying to connect with the Infra Red Server Suite service on port 24000. This is because you appear to have an iMON infra-red remote control. Is this correct?

If it doesn't manage to connect it tries again every 5 seconds for 5 minutes, just in case the service started after XBMC started at boot time.

Because it can take up to 5 minutes it does this in a separate thread so as not to hold up XBMC, so it is unlikely that this is the cause of your problem otherwise had it been single-threaded the wait would have been 5 minutes not 1. Though what actually is happening in the specific minute you are pointing to I'm afraid I don't know. The actual code is shown below:

Code:

void CRemoteControl::Initialize()
{
  if (m_isConnecting || m_bInitialized) return;
  //trying to connect when there is nothing to connect to is kinda slow so kick it off in a thread.
  Create();
}

void CRemoteControl::Process()
{
  unsigned int iMsRetryDelay = 5000;
  unsigned int time = XbmcThreads::SystemClockMillis() - iMsRetryDelay;
  // try to connect 60 times @ a 5 second interval (5 minutes)
  // multiple tries because irss service might be up and running a little later then xbmc on boot.
  while (!m_bStop && m_iAttempt <= 60)
  {
    if (XbmcThreads::SystemClockMillis() - time >= iMsRetryDelay)
    {
      time = XbmcThreads::SystemClockMillis();
      if (Connect())
        break;

      if(m_iAttempt == 0)
        CLog::Log(LOGINFO, "CRemoteControl::Process - failed to connect to irss, will keep retrying every %d seconds", iMsRetryDelay / 1000);

      m_iAttempt++;
    }
    Sleep(1000);
  }
  m_iAttempt     = 0;
}

hi,

i did use an iMON remote a while back, but not anymore. Where can I disable that?

Thanks and Regards

You can use Windows 7 Device Manager to disable devices see:

I still don't think this is your problem, but I'm prepared to be proven wrong.

i cannot find anything related to that device there, is this also stored somewhere in the xbmc settings?

if this is not the cause, any other ideas?

If you couldn't find it in the HUMAN INTERFACE DEVICES (HID) section of the Device Manager, then I wouldn't know where else to look I'm afraid.
